William Friedkin Art Quotations

To me, the art of cinema is the same as the art of painting. The artist takes a 2D medium and gives you the illusion of depth. If you look at any of the great paintings, you have the illusion of depth. Which is part of the art. The same with the great movies.

The art of movies is to allow the audience to suspend their disbelief. They need to use their imaginations.

To me, the art of movies is to take a two-dimensional image and give the illusion of depth.
