There's no need to speak. You must only - concentrate and recall all your past life. When a man thinks of the past, he becomes kinder. ~ Stalker (1979) Tarkovsky A déjà vu is usually a glitch in the Matrix. It happens when they change something. ~ The Matrix (1999) Wachowski

Tarkovsky is for me the greatest, the one who invented a new language, true to the nature of film, as it captures life as a reflection, life as a dream. When film is not a document, it is dream. ~ Ingmar Bergman The Virgin Spring The Sacrifice Once Upon a Time in Anatolia

The thing I love about Jaws is the fact that I've never gone swimming in the ocean again. ~ David Fincher Jaws Se7en
