"Film as dream, film as music. No art passes our conscience in the way film does, and goes directly to our feelings, deep down into the dark rooms of our souls.”  

― Ingmar Bergman

“I don't know half of you half as well as I should like; and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve.”

― J.R.R. Tolkien

A film is - or should be - more like music than like fiction. It should be a progression of moods and feelings. The theme, what's behind the emotion, the meaning, all that comes later. 

-Stanley Kubrick
