David Lean

My love for David Lean comes from my mother and her love for Doctor Zhivago. I can't tell you how many times I watched that movie or parts of it growing up. And I always realized this was a great film.

I then remember her one day having me watch Bridge on the River Kwai. Another epic film. And this lead me to discovering Lawrence of Arabia on my own. I believe it was a day when my mom was asleep, and I realized this film was coming on TV. It sucked me in completely.

Scorsese on Learning

Via FilmmakerIQ:

I’m often asked by younger filmmakers, why do I need to look at old movies; I’ve made a number of pictures in the past twenty years. And the response I find that I have to give them is that I still consider myself a student. The more pictures I’ve made in the past twenty years the more I realize I really don’t know. And I’m always looking for something to, something or someone that I could learn from. I tell them, I tell the younger filmmakers and the young students that I do it like painters used to do, or painters do: study the old masters, enrich your palette, expand your canvas. There’s always so much more to learn.
