This subject is a subject of flesh and blood. Because if we also choose an ideal point of view in a fictional film, and therefore one that is in a certain sense abstract and non-naturalistic, it becomes realistic and even naturalistic from the moment we place a camera and a tape recorder at that point of view: it will be something seen and heard by a subject of flesh and blood—that is, with eyes and ears." - Pier Paolo Pasolini, "Lutheran Letters."
