Most women's pictures are as boring and as formulaic as men's pictures. In place of a car chase or a battle scene, what you get is an extreme closeup of a woman breaking down.
The Christmas market at the Barcelona Cathedral sells all kinds of things for your Nativity scene. It will also give you a good idea of Catalan culture.
A filmmaker doesn't have to suffer to show suffering. You just have to understand it. You don't have to die to shoot a death scene.
But the thing about bad guys is that they have the biggest bosomed blond, they have great clothes and cars, and get great death scenes.
I always consider the settlement of America with reverence and wonder, as the opening of a grand scene and design in providence, for the illumination of the ignorant and the emancipation of the slavish part of mankind all over the earth.
The stuff that I got in trouble for, the casting for The Godfather or the flag scene in Patton, was the stuff that was remembered, and was considered the good work.
The last thing you want to do when you are about to film a scene is think, 'Oh my God, so many people are going to watch this.'
You jot down ideas, memories, whatever, concerning your real life that somehow parallels the character you're playing, and you incorporate that in your scene work.
I think part of that is to create an environment where it's like real life, where you don't really know what's going to happen to you in a certain scene.
On 'Southland,' when a helicopter joins our scene, we don't skip a beat. The actors talk louder because that's what cops do in real life.
I love doing film soundtracks and working with directors on how they want the scene to be portrayed on audio as opposed to visual. I like the collaborative effort of working with people.
I played a definite part in it. I guess the things that I played in films and the way the nudity and the love scenes were handled were really different.
It seems when I put together records, as Henley used to say, they're just like movies. They should have action, tension, love scenes, places to relax.
I love finding balance. My favorite thing to do is action-driven, emotionally-charged scenes.
The inconvenience, the glaring lights, the long hours of waiting, and the repetition of every scene are all calculated to defeat anything more than a real mastery of love technique.
Starting with a party scene for 600 cast and end up singing on top of a giant elephant...does it get any better than this?
Other people’s lives seem better than yours because you’re comparing their director’s cuts with your behind the scenes.
America, when it became known to Europeans, was, as it had long been, a scene of wide-spread revolution.
Doing a scene truthfully is very similar to doing a song truthfully. They're really parallel.
I enjoy setting the scene and coming up with interesting frames. 'True Detective' was a very hands-on set.
The dullest thing in the world is waiting for your scene. But the most exciting thing is seeing yourself on the screen and then getting compliments.
