How to use film in a sentence?

  1. Al Pacino:

    It’s hard to explain in today’s world — to explain who I was at that time and the bolt of lightning that it was, i felt like, all of a sudden, some veil was lifted, and all eyes were on me. Of course, they were on others in the film. But ‘The Godfather’ gave me a new identity that was hard for me to cope with.

  2. Xu Dazhe:

    When I saw the U.S. film 'The Martian', which envisages China-U.S. cooperation on a Mars rescue mission under emergency circumstances, it shows that our U.S. counterparts very much hope to cooperate with us, however, it's very regrettable that, for reasons everyone is aware of, there are currently some impediments to cooperation.

  3. De Palma:

    There's no point in teaching film students unless you have this great ability to keep going no matter what they tell you, you must persist and you must also be lucky. You have to have talent, persistence and luck to survive in this business.

  4. Scott Roxborough:

    I don't think it's his best film but it's a hot topic ... It honors the director and sends a political message at the same time.

  5. Alfonso Cuaron:

    They are giving a huge, huge, huge international push for this film, really in both streaming but also theatrical, not any company does that.
