I have a name for this phenomenon: the Instant White-out. People are closeted in cozy darkness; they turn off their mobile phones and willingly give themselves, for ninety minutes or two hours, to a new film that got a fourstar rating in the newspaper. They follow the pictures and the plot, understand what is spoken either in the original tongue or via dubbing or subtitles, enjoy lush locations and clever scenes, and even if they find the story superficial or preposterous, it is not enough to pry them from their seats and make them leave the theatre in the middle of the show.But something strange happens. After a short while, a week or two, sometimes even less, the film is whitened out, erased, as if it never happened. They can’t remember its name, or who the actors were, or the plot. The movie fades into the darkness of the movie house, and what remains is at most a ticket stub left accidentally in one’s pocket.","author":"A.B.

It’s not just about getting a performance. It’s also about the psychology of the cinematic moment, and the psychology of the presentation of that, of that window.","author":"David Fincher","tags":["cinema","directors","filmmaking","films","movies"],"id":54090,"author_id":"David+Fincher"},{"text":"The only job that was ever of interest to me other than filmmaking is architecture.","author":"Christopher Nolan","tags":["job","me","filmmaking "],"id":55213,"author_id":"Christopher+Nolan"}],"pagination":{"page":1,"page_size":10,"total":89,"pages":9,"next":"?page=2\u0026page_size=10"}}
