@bosssulaiman234 Take your flowers, been saying this since I saw it at the cinema.

Daniel, your direction in The Herd was excellent! KUDOS. Lovely and Great Story

YAKABU was my favourite performer. That calm, villainous voice and philosophical delivery were captivating, even without understanding the Hausa. I really wish he had more screen time.

I know you see the gowns and think: an American Bridgerton. But no, this is bigger. Not just love and marriage, but money, ambition, and family politics. New Money vs Old Money for the soul of New York, with dialogue sharp enough to draw blood.
What is your family's worth?

Lawrence of Arabia is 4 hours long and still feels too short. Every frame is art, every moment unforgettable. A true masterpiece.

Akira Kurosawa On Cinema:

"WHAT IS CINEMA? The answer to this question is no easy matter. Long ago the Japanese novelist Shiga Naoya presented an essay written by his grandchild as one of the most remarkable prose pieces of his time.

He had it published in a literary magazine. It was entitled “My Dog,” and ran as follows: “My dog resembles a bear; he also resembles a badger; he also resembles a fox.…” It proceeded to enumerate the dog’s special characteristics, comparing each one to yet another animal, developing into a full list of the animal kingdom.

However, the essay closed with, “But since he’s a dog, he most resembles a dog.” I remember bursting out laughing when I read this essay, but it makes a serious point. Cinema resembles so many other arts. If cinema has very literary characteristics, it also has theatrical qualities, a philosophical side, attributes of painting and sculpture and musical elements. But cinema is, in the final analysis, cinema."

(Something Like an Autobiography, Akira Kurosowa)

John McTiernan on how he learnt moviemaking by watching 'Day for Night' (1972):

"I remember when I decided that that's what I was going to do. I went about it like it was reverse engineering. I knew that I had to go and learn what a movie was, not just my experience of going and watching a movie. So I went and sat in Truffaut's Day for Night (1972), watched it for three days straight, eight hours at a time and memorized it shot-for-shot. I got past the story, all the original and secondary experience, so I could study what it was that I was really watching. Film is really sort of a chain that's really linear. Yet when it's all strung together, it just sort of feels like an experience. It takes quite a while to be able to deconstruct that experience to figure out what you really saw."
