[Quote No.56447] Need Area: Fun > TV/movies
"Propaganda works ONLY through constant reiteration! It is only in quantity that corrupt values, false perceptions, and bogus facts can be sold. Truth, by contrast... does not need the apparatus of salesmanship [that is constant, persuasive reiteration although it still helps], because reality itself is waiting to confirm it [which is not the case with propaganda]!" - Walter Wink

[Quote No.57107] Need Area: Fun > TV/movies
"Professional actors are not merely playwrights' mouthpieces. They have the same relation to the text of a play as a musician does to a composer's score. They must grasp its possibilities of meaning, and they must know what an audience understands by another's ways of saying and seeming, moving and doing. The least of their craft thus demands skills of interpretation and representation. By connecting them an actor mirrors the world. And makes audiences believe they see truth in the reflection." - A. C. Grayling
(1949 - ), Anthony Clifford Grayling, British philosopher. Quoted in his book, ‘The Meaning of Things - Applying Philosophy to Life’.

[Quote No.61301] Need Area: Fun > TV/movies
"I have one life. I am a certain age. I'm married to one person. I have a certain number of children. I won't have another life other than that, but I do have many lives through the films. ...One wants to be able to experience being other people, remaking a reality, remaking a life, remaking a certain world. ...Making a film is a way for me to understand what it's like to be a murderer, to confess, to be a beaten wife, to be a minority, to be a victor, to get the girl, to lose the girl. I can do all of that through the practice of an art form." - Sydney Pollack
(1934 - 2008), American film director, producer and actor.

[Quote No.71842] Need Area: Fun > TV/movies
"[Why read, etc?] ...we seek an enlargement of our being. We want to be more than ourselves. Each of us by nature sees the whole world from one point of view with a perspective and a selectiveness peculiar to himself. And even when we build disinterested fantasies, they are saturated with, and limited by, our own psychology. ...We want to see with other eyes, to imagine with other imaginations, to feel with other hearts, as well as with our own." - C.S. Lewis
Quote from his book, ‘An Experiment in Criticism’.
