That Movie

Thursday, February 26, 2004  

Because I tend to write about faith and the arts a good bit, I guess I should have an opinion about that new Mel Gibson movie. I do, but I'm going to post this instead:

A society that moves too fast and thinks too little is hardly the kind to nurture a writing form, developed in another age, that's not designed to yield its secrets easily. Sadly, reflection is a scarce commodity these days. Increasingly, Americans - even those educated yuppies with fancy degrees - have precious little time to exercise their imaginations.

From "A window to truths about our world," a short article in which Margo Hammond and Ellen Heltzel argue for the necessity of serious American fiction. Draw your own conclusions, and rent this instead.
