Cinema Quote by Zhang Ziyi

“When I watch a movie for the first few times I'm usually thinking about where I was in a given scene, who was next to me, what we were doing etc. But after I've gotten through all of this, when I'm really watching the film itself, then I get moved.” quote by Zhang Ziyi — Download Open image
