I like lesson ten the best:
10. There is only one language in cinema.
“Hitchcock said this to Truffaut back in the day. You know, when they scream in that shower they’re screaming in Tokyo the same way they’re screaming in Paris. It isn’t the language that’s making them scream. It’s not the words, man. It’s the pure cinema that is effective. And when you’re speaking with the images, and you’re putting those images together, they way they’re supposed to be put together, then you’re speaking the language. It doesn’t matter if you’re in Serbia, or in a ****ing igloo with Eskimos. You’re speaking that one universal language, and that’s the language of the cinema. And that’s holy.”
