- Nov 07, 2020
Cinema is visually powerful, it is a complete experience, reaches a different audience. It's something I really like. I like movies.

The language of prose is very different than the language of cinema, so the movie has to successfully translate what was in the book.
- Pain

- Nov 07, 2020
You can't quantify human pain the way you can measure out sugar. Death comes one individual at a time.
- Hate

Music moves me - duh - and that is like having a window opening on a heightened reality, but the effect is fleeting: When the music ends, the magic, the uplifting, vanishes and the window slams shut.

- Long
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
It's true, too, that I'm tired of using books as political bullets and grenades. Books are too precious and wonderful to be used for long in such a fashion.

- Nov 07, 2020
Cinema is incredibly concise.
- Emotions
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Words are much better at relating emotions and thoughts.
- Mind
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Words aren't very good at describing complicated, strange visual things. You can try, and the reader will have some sort of image in their mind, but words aren't good at that.
