[b]Michelangelo Antonioni
We live in a society that compels us to go on using these concepts, and we no longer know what they mean. [/b]
Let’s cite a few examples.
Hollywood is like being nowhere and talking to nobody about nothing.
You know, being generous.
Scientific man is already on the moon, and yet we are still living with the moral concepts of Homer.
Hell, I could have told you that.
I simply know what the actor’s attitude should be and what he should say. He doesn’t, because he can’t see the relationship that begins to exist between his body and the other things in the scene.
On the other hand, tell them that.
Violence is not the only means of persuasion.
Until it is.
All the characters in my films are fighting these problems, needing freedom, trying to find a way to cut themselves loose, but failing to rid themselves of conscience, a sense of sin, the whole bag of tricks.
What they get however is freedom dictated to them by the director and the script.
