Silent Movies Quotes

When you look at the early-'30s movies, like King Kong, the codes of acting are very similar to those of silent movies. In some of the silent movies - the good ones, the ones done by the best directors - the acting is very, very natural. Michel Hazanavicius
I always loved silent movies. I was not a specialist, but I loved them. And when I started directing, I became really fascinated by the format - how it works, the device of the silent movie. It's not the same form of expression as a talkie. The lack of sounds makes you participate in the storytelling. Michel Hazanavicius
Right now I'm the most famous silent movie actress in the world and I want to keep that for me. So I hope there's not going to be any other silent movies. Berenice Bejo
This is a universal, unique movie, it has potential to cross barriers. But we never thought about that on set, when we were doing the film. We knew that in making a silent movie, we were doing something a little bit under the wire, a bit interdit. It's a pastiche, but for the French taste, you would have thought. Jean Dujardin
For you, it's a silent movie. For us, it's a talking movie because we had lines on set. There's a lot of noise on set and music. We spoke in English, in French, in gibberish, but it was very alive. The challenge was tap dancing. Jean Dujardin
I think the approach of the character for us is the same in a silent movie as in a talking movie because we had balance, we had lines to learn. Berenice Bejo
Today we are aware as never before of the plurality of human life-styles and possibilities, while at the same time being tied, like in an old silent movie, to a runaway locomotive rushing headlong toward a very singular catastrophe Gary Snyder
When I'm actually assembling a scene, I assemble it as a silent movie. Even if it's a dialog scene, I lip read what people are saying. Walter Murch
Jean Dujardin quote: "For me, I loved it. I only want to make silent movies now."
For me, I loved it. I only want to make silent movies now. Jean Dujardin
This is the problem with language, and this is what makes silent movies fun, because the connection with them, me or the audience is not with the language. There's no question of interpretation of what we are saying it's just about feeling. You create your own story. Michel Hazanavicius
I try to respect the rules of the silent movies and I tried to make signification to make sense, and also the crew were very good and the fact that we shot in LA in the real Hollywood, studios and houses. We shot in the bed of Mary Pickford, and you cannot be any more accurate than that, so that helped a lot. Michel Hazanavicius
I've had 79 to 80 years of show business. I started when I was 5 with a man called Tom Mix. I didn't have time to go to school because I was in silent movies, I was in radio, I was in burlesque, I worked with the circus. I'm all show business! George Sidney
Barry Levinson quote: "I got a chance to work with Mel Brooks on two of his films:..."
I got a chance to work with Mel Brooks on two of his films: Silent Movie and High Anxiety. Barry Levinson
In silent movies, they tended to put the camera down, and everybody walked in front of it and acted, and then they all walked off. Cutting was quite infrequent. Bruce Beresford
Monica Bellucci quote: "When you see a silent movie, you understand everything that's..."
When you see a silent movie, you understand everything that's going on from the images because the images are so strong. Monica Bellucci
