Wim Wenders Quotes
Any film that supports the idea that things can be changed is a great film in my eyes. - Wim Wenders Quotes
Any movie that has that spirit and says things can be changed is worth making. - Wim Wenders Quotes
As proud as I am of European cinema, the way to make it survive is not to make it an endangered species but to put it out there in the world. - Wim Wenders Quotes
But I think that the spirit of protectionism would be the grave of European cinema. You cannot protect something by building a fence around it and thinking that this will help it survive. - Wim Wenders Quotes
Butte was once a grand city. To me, that city is like one big stage for Edward Hopper. You could put your camera anywhere, and you felt you were looking at his paintings. - Wim Wenders Quotes
Cinema is a worldwide phenomenon. - Wim Wenders Quotes
Entertainment today constantly emphasises the message that things are wonderful the way they are. But there is another kind of cinema, which says that change is possible and necessary and its up to you. - Wim Wenders Quotes
Every kid in Cuba knows what the dollar is worth, it is the other currency and there are many things you can only buy with American dollars. - Wim Wenders Quotes
Everything is entertainment; criticism is now entertainment and it seems that the French directors have woken up one day and suddenly realised that they were not backed up any more. - Wim Wenders Quotes
Film is a very, very powerful medium. It can either confirm the idea that things are wonderful the way they are, or it can reinforce the conception that things can be changed. - Wim Wenders Quotes
Filmmakers and critics wrote about each other and sometimes very harshly. This no longer exists. - Wim Wenders Quotes
For us music is mainly part of the entertainment world and is often a luxury. - Wim Wenders Quotes
For years all I seemed to be doing was lobbying politicians and others to persuade them that European culture needed movies, and that we had to protect it. - Wim Wenders Quotes
Havana is one of the poorest cities Ive been in the last few years and yet we were never asked for money from anybody during our stay. - Wim Wenders Quotes
I really wanted the film to be shown in the US because Cuba, for a huge section of the American public, has been eradicated from view. - Wim Wenders Quotes
I was in the forefront of that discussion for many years and as chairman and president of the European Film Academy had many long debates over this. - Wim Wenders Quotes
Im getting a little bored by the juxtaposition of American and other cinema. I no longer think this division is as true as it might have been in the 1980s, or the early part of the 90s. - Wim Wenders Quotes
Ive never been anywhere in my life like it and I only really noticed it when I returned to Los Angeles and then Berlin. Everybody is much better off in these places, there is not poverty like in Cuba, but everybody complains about things. - Wim Wenders Quotes
Ibrahim tells his story without a grain of complaint, and this was true for all of the band members. This is very much part of the Cuban spirit and soul. - Wim Wenders Quotes
In fact, it is amazing how much European films - Italian, French, German and English - have recovered a certain territory of the audience in their countries over the last few years. - Wim Wenders Quotes
In the late 1980s the amount of German films was down to four or five percent of the market, and the remaining 95 percent were American. It is now 20 to 30 percent German productions. - Wim Wenders Quotes
In this age of consumerism film criticism all over the world - in America first but also in Europe - has become something that caters for the movie industry instead of being a counterbalance. - Wim Wenders Quotes
Its very hard to find critics or a magazine today that will publish material that is genuinely independent and written without any concern about being cut off some distributors list or not be invited or flown into screenings. - Wim Wenders Quotes
Many French directors, having now realised there was no more real criticism, that the standards of the past have gone, are very offended about the quality of film criticism. - Wim Wenders Quotes
Many of the critics today get airline tickets, hotel accommodation, bags, beautiful photographs, gifts and other expenses paid by the distributors, and then are supposed to write serious articles about the movie. - Wim Wenders Quotes
Maybe its the music that enables them to function like that, to always take everything as it comes and never complain about the misery, hardship or injustice. - Wim Wenders Quotes
Most journalists today work for the film industry and not as a sort of mirror of the industry. And that phenomenon has struck the French as well. - Wim Wenders Quotes
Movies are something people see all over the world because there is a certain need for it. - Wim Wenders Quotes
Neither Rainer Werner, nor any of us could have succeeded, or produced the number of films that we did, just on our own. We showed our films to each other, discussed them vigorously and rarely agreed. - Wim Wenders Quotes
Of course the French are making very credible movies and it is still one of the greatest nations in terms of world cinema but the real problem is the decay in film criticism. - Wim Wenders Quotes
