Sidney Lumet fazendo filmes

Estou aprendendo montes de coisas novas com o Making Movies do diretor Sidney Lumet. No capítulo sobre câmeras e lentes ele diz:
A camera can´t talk back, but:
– It can make up for a deficiente performance.
– It can make a good performance better.
– It can create mood.
– It can create ugliness.
– It can create beauty.
– It can can provide excitement.
– It can capture the essence of the moment.
– It can stop time.
– It can change space.
– It can define a character.
– It can provide exposition.
– It can make a joke.
– It can make a miracle.
– It can tell a story.
E para terminar, uma citação de Godard que Lumet reproduz:
Movies are 24 frames of truth per second.
