I'm sad to see celluloid go, there's no doubt. But, you know, nitrate went, by the way, in 1971.

Now it's digital. -Martin Scorsese Sad
I love studying Ancient History and seeing how empires rise and fall, sowing the seeds of their own destruction. -Martin Scorsese History
Very often I've known people who wouldn't say a word to each other, but they'd go to see movies together and experience life that way. -Martin Scorsese Movies

The cinema began with a passionate, physical relationship between celluloid and the artists and craftsmen and technicians who handled it, manipulated it, and came to know it the way a lover comes to know every inch of the body of the beloved. No matter where the cinema goes, we cannot afford to lose sight of its beginnings. -Martin Scorsese Relationship
