Top 35 Quotes About Hollywood Cinema

#1. Most, especially the young filmmakers, do not see strength in communal or collective existence. They just think they're going to conquer the world as individuals. There is no world like that. In cinema it's always, even in Hollywood, a collective surge.

#6. Don't make your living with cinema because Hollywood will take you, will eat you, will destroy you. This is the reality. You have a good picture, have success, you take the person and they destroy you.

Alejandro Jodorowsky

Quotes About Hollywood Cinema #473066

#8. Action roles - or any role - should go to the best guy for the job. People obsess about nationality. Hollywood and America might be the hub for pop culture and cinema for the Western world, but that shouldn't suggest that all the roles should go to young American men.

Jai Courtney

#9. I was a young film student around the time of the new wave in film in the 1970s; old Hollywood was naff and over. For me, as a film student, I was going to see French and Italian cinema; American cinema was 'Easy Rider' and 'Taxi Driver.' Everything was gritty.

Barbara Cartland

Quotes About Hollywood Cinema #952644
#11. Egyptian comedy has a very, very old tradition. Our theater and our movies are just, like, amazing. And Egypt is kind of like the Hollywood of the Middle East. I mean, we had cinema maybe decades before the other Arab countries ever got independence.

Bassem Youssef

Quotes About Hollywood Cinema #1029521
#12. The fact is that Hollywood, from as early as the sixties to the present time, has ghettoized cinema into the big industry, a marketing industry. In doing this, the audiences have lost touch with the aspects of film which were to be informative and educational and even spiritual.

Brian Cox

Quotes About Hollywood Cinema #1046228

Rashmi Doraiswamy

Quotes About Hollywood Cinema #1078983
#15. National film industries tend to move in cycles. In Australia right now, we're on a high, a feeling of potential, which as yet shows no sign of flagging. But the word 'industry' is misleading. A small national cinema has no industry in the Hollywood sense.

Peter Weir

Jacki Weaver

Quotes About Hollywood Cinema #1226571

Gemma Arterton

Quotes About Hollywood Cinema #1319913

Lillete Dubey

Quotes About Hollywood Cinema #1374027
#22. France can compete with the Hollywood studios in terms of animation savoir-faire, but not in terms of box-office figures. France is a small country, and the Americans are the masters of the world - for cinema, it's true.

Michel Ocelot

Quotes About Hollywood Cinema #1377745
#23. The American independent cinema is as formulaic as Hollywood and one genre is what you might call the 'inaction movie'. The setting is invariably a decaying town in a regional backwater where a catalytic stranger or returning native meets up with a group of sad, eccentric outsiders.

Philip French

Quotes About Hollywood Cinema #1518331
#24. Hollywood films have become a cesspool of formula and it's up to us to try to change it ... I feel like a preacher! But it's really true. I feel personally responsible for the future of American cinema. Me personally.

Alexander Payne

Quotes About Hollywood Cinema #1532205
#25. I was inspired by Maya Deren because she was the first woman filmmaker whose films I saw. I also loved Fellini and Goddard because they were so different from Hollywood films.

Chris Hegedus

Quotes About Hollywood Cinema #1598225
#26. The problem in Hollywood is that they try to become the only kind of cinema in the world, okay? The imposition everywhere of a unique culture, which is Hollywood culture, and a unique way of life, which is the American way of life.

Bernardo Bertolucci

Salman Rushdie

Quotes About Hollywood Cinema #1774372
#29. I would never put on 20 kilos and mess up my system because a role demands it. Hindi cinema doesn't offer you roles that get you an Oscar, anyway. Tom Hanks can do it in Hollywood; not us.

Bipasha Basu

Quotes About Hollywood Cinema #1781270
#30. I came to Hollywood and I loved it. It was a great time, but in my head I was still elsewhere, in Europe. I believed in a certain cinema, which I still do believe in - a certain European cinema - and as a young woman being in America, I thought I was being taken away from that.

Valeria Golino
