Spectator/films

Famous quotes containing the words spectator and/or films:

“I’ve always had the notion that people go to spectator sports to have fun and then they grab the paper to read about it and have fun again.”

“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)
