“The difference between an American film and a European film is that a European film can open with a shot of clouds, cut to another shot of clouds, and then cut to a third shot of clouds. If an American films opens with a shot of clouds, it must cut to an airplane, and if by the third shot the airplane hasn’t exploded the audience is bored.”

- Alfred Hitchcock
