I've saw a lot of excellent film pictures of yourself. Please - understand me again- I would be always very respectuosly with you. Maybe with the digital we are forgetting the use of thinking. Of course everybody of us is thinking when is shooting...., but this is for me a little bit loss the sense of the unique... I'm also a lover of the classic cinema, one of his charachteristics was that with a few media they expressed great ideas, now the cinema, with some rare exceptions, has become a expressive media of fantastic and impressive images and dialogues. I'm sorry if my thoughts seems a little bit for the past or maybe nostalgic... Even if it is difficult for me say all this in English, I hope you've understood, thank you for your effort reading me.
