art images
The way I put together images is a reactive art.
art bad commercial films movies
I think bad movies are made around the world, not just in Hollywood. There are as many bad art films in the whole world as there are bad commercial films.
art
If art doesn't move people, then art has failed.
artistic arts class corporate films instead interest kids master pushed successful visual work
You have kids studying master class visual arts who are pushed to make films that will be successful economically; that's what they focus on. So they work for corporate interest instead of artistic expression.
art images implies instead movies
Movies become art after editing. Instead of just reproducing reality, they juxtapose images of it. That implies expression; that's art.
country art thinking
I think the arts should get big support, but my country has a lot of needs more important than film. Medication, education, food... The poverty is overwhelming. There are simply more important things to be attended to.
art government support
I understand when there's no money for the arts in the government, but it should maybe pressure private companies to support more filmmakers. These exhibition and distribution companies are huge, and there might be incentives for them to invest more in Mexican cinema.
although direction false understand watching
We are watching all of these initiatives. We understand that although they are initiatives aimed in the right direction ... we also must not have false expectations.
countries government relations required return
What is required immediately is the return of the boy. If this does not happen, the U.S. government will be responsible for the way in which relations between the two countries could worsen.
america believe colombia latin peace
We believe that peace in Colombia isn't important only for Colombia but all of Latin America.
director music
I see only one requirement you have to have to be a director or any kind of artist: rhythm. Rhythm, for me, is everything. Without rhythm, there's no music. Without rhythm, there's no cinema. Without rhythm, there's no architecture.
needed vulgarity
'Biutiful' is a tough film. It doesn't make concessions to the vulgarity of light entertainment. It's not the kind of film that you see every day in the Cineplex. But as an artist, it's the thing that I needed to do.
period piece truly
I've never done a period piece or a comedy, and that could be something truly different for me.
learned lose smile teaches
I've learned to lose with a smile on my face. That's what the Oscar teaches you.
