Foreign Language Film

Famous quotes containing the words foreign language, foreign, language and/or film:

    And when discipline is concerned, the parent who has to make it to the end of an eighteen-hour day—who works at a job and then takes on a second shift with the kids every night—is much more likely to adopt the survivor’s motto: “If it works, I’ll use it.” From this perspective, dads who are even slightly less involved and emphasize firm limits or character- building might as well be talking a foreign language. They just don’t get it.
    Ron Taffel (20th century)

    I journeyed to London, to the timekept City,
    Where the River flows, with foreign flotations.
    There I was told: we have too many churches,
    And too few chop-houses.
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    Never resist a sentence you like, in which language takes its own pleasure and in which, after having abused it for so long, you are stupefied by its innocence.
    Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)

    A good film script should be able to do completely without dialogue.
    David Mamet (b. 1947)
