Famous quotes containing the words american and/or films:

“I do not know the American gentleman, God forgive me for putting two such words together.”
—Charles Dickens (1812–1870)

“The cinema is not an art which films life: the cinema is something between art and life. Unlike painting and literature, the cinema both gives to life and takes from it, and I try to render this concept in my films. Literature and painting both exist as art from the very start; the cinema doesn’t.”
—Jean-Luc Godard (b. 1930)
