The Screen Is A Magic Medium.

In Any Case, Once You're Dealing On A Nonverbal Level, Ambiguity Is Unavoidable. But It's The Ambiguity Of All Art, Of A Fine Piece Of Music Or A Painting - You Don't Need Written Instructions By The Composer Or Painter Accompanying Such Works To 'explain' Them. “explaining” Them Contributes Nothing But A Superficial 'cultural' Value Which Has No Value Except For Critics And Teachers Who Have To Earn A Living.

I Haven't Come Across Any Recent New Ideas In Film That Strike Me As Being Particularly Important And That Have To Do With Form. I Think That A Preoccupation With Originality Of Form Is More Or Less A Fruitless Thing. A Truly Original Person With A Truly Original Mind Will Not Be Able To Function In The Old Form And Will Simply Do Something Different. Others Had Much Better Think Of The Form As Being Some Sort Of Classical Tradition And Try To Work Within It.

The Feel Of The Experience Is The Important Thing, Not The Ability To Verbalize Or Analyze It.

A Film Is - Or Should Be - More Like Music Than Like Fiction.
