Famous quotes containing the words characteristics of and/or cinema:
“Movements born in hatred very quickly take on the characteristics of the thing they oppose.”
—J.S. Habgood (b. 1927)
“I rather think the cinema will die. Look at the energy being exerted to revive it—yesterday it was color, today three dimensions. I don’t give it forty years more. Witness the decline of conversation. Only the Irish have remained incomparable conversationalists, maybe because technical progress has passed them by.”
—Orson Welles (1915–1984)
