In New York I'd go to the movies three or four times a week. Here I've upped it to six or seven, mainly because I'm too lazy to do anything else. Fortunately, going to the movies seems to suddenly qualify as an intellectual accomplishment, on a par with reading a book or devoting time to serious thought. It's not that the movies have gotten any more strenuous, it's just that a lot of people are as lazy as I am, and together we've agreed to lower the bar.
David SedarisTHE MAN WITH A MOVIE CAMERA(1929) the 'honesty' of documentary as compared with fiction film, the 'perfection' of the cinematic eye compared with human eye.

The angel said, "I like black-and-white films more than color because they're more artificial. You have to work harder to overcome your disbelief. It's sort of like prayer.

For the casual viewer, Kurosawa’s films can be an exercise in endurance.
Jerry WhiteStahl trailed him upstairs, across a mezzanine, and out into the darkness of the sloping balcony. Tom gave the aisle his torch so his guest could see. On the screen below a woman's head was wavering, two or three times larger than life. A metallic voice clanged out, echoing sepulchrally all over the house, like a modern Delphic Oracle. 'Go back, go back!' she said. 'This is no place for you!'
Her big luminous eyes seemed to be looking right at Lew Stahl as she spoke. Her finger came out and pointed, and it seemed to aim straight at him and him alone. It was weird; he almost stopped in his tracks, then went on again. He hadn't eaten all day; he figured he must be woozy, to think things like that. ("Dusk To Dawn")

Otak itu utuh. Otak itu layar. Saya tak percaya jika linguistik dan psikoanalisa menawarkan sesuatu yang berarti untuk sinema. Berbeda halnya dengan apa yang ditawarkan biologi otak --biologi molekular. Pikiran itu molekular. Kecepatan-kecepatan molekularlah yang mampu membuat kita mengatasi betapa lambatnya kita (tubuh) merespon. Tepatnya adalah karena sinema membekerjakan imaji di dalam gerak, atau gerak-auto, dengan demikian sinema tak pernah berhenti melacak sirkuit-sirkuit otak".

To Bette Davis, Gena Rowlands, Romy Schneider... To all actresses who have played actresses, to all women who act, to all men who act and become women, to all the people who want to be mothers. To my mother.

After watching the delirious Room 237 I realized that the worst thing happening to movies was the empowerment of the viewer via technology.
