Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu Quotes

I think I prefer 3D to 2D now.

Oftentimes, when we think of 3D, we think of things coming out of the screen, but actually, you've got this zero, this negative space, what they call the negative space, which is the scene, what's being filmed in the positive space of the audience. As you can have things come out, you can have all of this depth.

To be quite honest. I have seen a few things in 3D, and it didn't involve me anymore than when I saw something in 2D.

At 3-D Imax theaters, audiences have shown they are willing to pay a premium to wear headgear fitted with liquid-crystal lenses synchronized via infrared signals with the movie projector, which runs at twice the normal frame rate. These movie viewers plumb new depths in depth perception - they experience extreme realism.

Are we blasphemous in saying that 2-D is largely a thing of the past, and computer-generated animation is the present and future? It's all about creating a better experience for the viewer - and that includes 3-D.

A photograph is just a little, teeny-weeny, small piece of life. I feel like I see so much more than what I can actually get.

Life is not a problem to be solved, but a reality to be experienced.

Just like those little Viewmaster slides, there's a inherent magic that's captured in 3D that you can't get in drawn animation or in CG.

Life is a dream for the wise, a game for the fool, a comedy for the rich, a tragedy for the poor.

A moment's insight is sometimes worth a life's experience.

Dreams are true while they last, and do we not live in dreams?

The 3D world allows you to engage even more with a film because you're somehow drawn into the landscape or the universe of that scene. Even when it's two people talking at a table, you feel like you're a third party.

People sometimes say the way things happen in the movies is unreal, but actually, it's the way things happen to you in life that's unreal.

We look at Sony as someone who's jumping into the space to help evangelize and build out VR. They're very centered around a console experience.

We imagine that some people will jump into the AR and VR space that are complementary. We look at Google Glass. It's very complementary. It's not competitive. It's a different experience. It's used for different purposes.

The first effect of looking at a good photograph through the stereoscope is a surprise such as no painting ever produced. The mind feels its way into the very depths of the picture. The scraggy branches of a tree in the foreground run out at us as if they would scratch our eyes out

Stereograph

At its very core, virtual reality is about being freed from the limitations of actual reality. Carrying your virtual reality with you, and being able to jump into it whenever and wherever you want, qualitatively changes the experience for the better. Experiencing mobile VR is like when you first tried a decent desktop VR experience.

When people ask whether virtual reality will be a real thing or just the next 3D, what I always say is, 'Take a headset, walk outside, and the next person you meet, put it on them and see what the reaction is.'

Much of the excitement about virtual reality has come from the gaming community.

Usually, companies, when they approach other people to do VR, they're like, 'We're gonna offer a virtual reality experience' - to me, that usually means they're gonna put a bunch of 360° cameras in a room, film something, and wrap the video in a sphere so you can head-track and look around. To me, that's not virtual reality. That's 360° video.

One wants to be able to experience being other people, remaking a reality, remaking a life, remaking a certain world.

I am not a person who is about reality. I am about enhanced reality.

Judgment is forced upon us by experience

The primary Reality is not what I think, but that I live, for those also live who do not think.
