Famous quotes containing the words film and/or television:

    “You should look straight at a film; that’s the only way to see one. Film is not the art of scholars but of illiterates.”
    —Werner Herzog (b. 1942)

    “Never before has a generation of parents faced such awesome competition with the mass media for their children’s attention. While parents tout the virtues of premarital virginity, drug-free living, nonviolent resolution of social conflict, or character over physical appearance, their values are daily challenged by television soaps, rock music lyrics, tabloid headlines, and movie scenes extolling the importance of physical appearance and conformity.”
    —Marianne E. Neifert (20th century)
