"The architecture of a story can be a little bit different if it’s a true story." ― Joel Coen Topic(s): Architecture More From Joel Coen "I’ve never really understood that. It’s a funny thing; people sometimes accuse us of condescending to our characters somehow-that to me is kind of inexplicable." "We have an uncanny ability to make birds do what we want them to do. In Blood Simple there’s a shot from the bumper of a car and it’s going up this road and a huge flock of birds takes off at the perfect moment." "It’s a funny thing because you look at the careers of other filmmakers, and you see them sort of slow down, and you realize, maybe this becomes harder to do as you get older. That’s sort of a cautionary thing. I hope it doesn’t happen to me." More In Architecture "I mean, certainly writing, painting, photography, dance, architecture, there is an aspect of almost every art form that is useful and that merges into film in some way."― Sydney Pollack "You look at the steamboat, the railroad, the car, the airplane – not all of these were invented in the Anglo-American world, but they were popularized and extended by it. They were made possible by the financial architecture, the capital intensive operations invented and developed by the Anglo-Americans."― Walter Russell Mead "Revived in this country the long forgotten beauties of Gothic architecture."― James Wyatt
