Famous quotes containing the word cinema:

    “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)

    “Photography is truth. The cinema is truth twenty-four times per second.”
    —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)
