Movies – A Pondering Mind

Books and movies are like apples and oranges. The both are fruit, but taste completely different. ~Stephen King

Movies are not novels ….

Movies are not novels, and that’s why, when filmmakers try to adapt novels, particularly long or complex novels, the result is almost failure. It can’t be done.

~Paul Auster

Going To The Cinema ~ Federico Fellini

“Going to the cinema is like returning to the womb; you sit there, still and meditative in the darkness, waiting for life to appear on the screen.”
~ Federico Fellini

You know those days when you’ve got the mean reds… – Truman Capote / Breakfast at Tiffany’s

You know those days when you’ve got the mean reds…the blues are because you’re getting fat or maybe its been raining too long. You’re sad, that’s all. But the mean reds are horrible. You’re afraid and you sweat like hell, but you don’t know what you are afraid of. Except something bad is going to happen, only you don’t know what it is.

– Truman Capote, Breakfast at Tiffany’s, 1958, spoken by the character Holly Golightly
