I made it a point to answer some of the questions I've been getting. Although I have to be honest. It takes a lot of time to answer one question. So I will be choosing the questions that I will answer.
I thought of blogging it up so that if you have a similar question you can just read it here.
Here's my reply to a question. I've also added the real message I've sent and the real message that I got.

MY RESPONSE:
first i'd like to discuss what is a photograph.. a photograph or a photo is a picture right? it's one frame. or if you want us to be literal.. one picture can only be put in one frame..
now let's go to the word cinema.. cinema is connected to the words movie and video. why? when you go to the cinema or theater, you're going there to watch a movie. Am I right? Anyway, the definition of a video is a number of photos / pictures being played in less than a minute. or you can find a better definition in the dictionary. anyway, a video is a compilation of pictures ... or as we have established the picture is one frame.. then we can now say that a video has several frames..
so now why they say the word truth?
the writer simply just wants to express what he thinks of photography and cinema..
so let's focus on "photography is truth"
for him photography is capturing what is true. for instance let's try to compare photography to a painting. A painting maybe a result of truth but it will depend on the artist how he wants to depict it. while taking a picture from a camera.. you are just taking it as it is.. but of course there are certain times when the photographer wants to capture a different angle. nevertheless, he only has what he has in front and to show us.
so going back to the sentence.
"Photography is truth and cinema is truth 24 times a second."
For him cinema is still truth but come in 24 frames per second.
Just a comment, is this the real sentence.. shouldn't it be...
"Photography is truth and cinematography is truth 24 times a second."
I hope this helps.
