Film
The 1952 film Hans Christian Andersen, though inspired by Andersen and his legacy, is neither historically nor biographically accurate. Indeed, it makes no claim to accuracy, and includes a graphic stating "This is not the story of his life, but a fairy tale about this great spinner of fairy tales."

Famous quotes containing the word film:
“Film is more than the twentieth-century art. It’s another part of the twentieth-century mind. It’s the world seen from inside. We’ve come to a certain point in the history of film. If a thing can be filmed, the film is implied in the thing itself. This is where we are. The twentieth century is on film.... You have to ask yourself if there’s anything about us more important than the fact that we’re constantly on film, constantly watching ourselves.”
—Don Delillo (b. 1926)
“I think of horror films as art, as films of confrontation. Films that make you confront aspects of your own life that are difficult to face. Just because you’re making a horror film doesn’t mean you can’t make an artful film.”
—David Cronenberg (b. 1943)
“A film is a petrified fountain of thought.”
—Jean Cocteau (1889–1963)
