| Quotes: |
Most people think of cinematographers as choosing subjects of an epic nature to show off what they do - big, sweeping images of war or pageantry.
<br />
<hr>
Even great actors shine brighter in the right atmosphere.
<br />
<hr>
The Chinese are brought up to believe that you should be silent in class. The teacher speaks, and you just listen and absorb what they say.
<br />
<hr>
In 'Tree of Life,' the cinematography records a small story, a celebration of the courage of everyday life. But it does it so up close and so effortlessly that it has the effect of elevating the intimacy of the story to a grand scale.
<br />
<hr>
The great photographers of life - like Diane Arbus and Walker Evans and Robert Frank - all must have had some special quality: a personality of nurturing and non-judgment that frees the subjects to reveal their most intimate reality. It really is what makes a great photographer, every bit as much as understanding composition and lighting. |
