How to use film in a sentence?

  1. John Lasseter:

    Things looked kind of plastic and we thought:’What if the characters were made of plastic? What if they were toys?’ and it’s one of the reasons we leaned into making toys the subject of our feature film, ‘Toy Story.’.

  2. Mark Judge:

    I know they've asked me not to film here, they've told me not to film here. They've explained the legal ramifications of filming here, but this was part of my past and these videos are part of my history, so bring on the lawyers.

  3. Nick Lowe:

    It's a bit like seeing a silly film of yourself a bit drunk at a party and being forced to watch it. You recoil somewhat, it's not a place I like to go back to, reliving the old days, (though) I have a degree of affection for the little twit.

  4. David Ewoldsen:

    It's not an escape from our everyday stresses, we have a tendency, when watching TV or film, to put ourselves in it.

  5. Roland Kelts:

    None of them have even seen the film, and while it is based on one man's story, it's a feature, not a documentary. There are plenty of movies that depict the brutality and inhumanity of war, unbroken.
