All SALMAN RUSHDIE Quotes about “Film”

“If you want to tell the untold stories, if you want to give voice to the voiceless, you've got to find a language. Which goes for film as well as prose, for documentary as well as autobiography. Use the wrong language, and you're dumb and blind.”
“I think people direct good films when they feel personal to them, not because it's a famous book or something. It has to something move over that and somehow become personal to the director.”
“I have been a film buff all my life and believe that the finest cinema is fully the equal of the best novels.”
“I'm not a big fan of there being voiceovers in movies. I really prefer it when the film tells it story.”
“When you are making an independent film, money is never an issue.”
“As a writer, one of the things we all learned from the movies was a kind of compression that didn't exist before people were used to watching films. For instance, if you wanted to write a flashback in a novel, you once had to really contextualize it a lot, to set it up. Now, readers know exactly what you're doing. Close-ups, too.”
