Famous quotes containing the word cinema:

    “For me, the cinema is not a slice of life, but a piece of cake.”
    —Alfred Hitchcock (1899–1980)

    “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)

    “The cinema is going to form the mind of England. The national conscience, the national ideals and tests of conduct, will be those of the film.”
    —George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
