“Our point isn't to make an examination of popular film but to illustrate that the yearning for a heroic adventure lies just beneath the surface of our consciousness; film, television, literature, sports, and travel are in a sense vicarious adventures.” FilmLyingLiteratureSportsConsciousnessTelevisionAdventureSurfaceHeroicYearningExaminationBeneath The SurfaceVicariousPopular Film Book:The Faith of Leap (Shapevine): Embracing a Theology of Risk, Adventure & Courage Source: The Faith of Leap (Shapevine): Embracing a Theology of Risk, Adventure & Courage
“I had a huge advantage when I started 50 years ago - my job was secure. I didn't have to promote myself. These days there's far more pressure to make a mark, so the temptation is to make adventure television or personality shows.

“What's neat about TV is you get really rich, an opportunity to tell really rich stories over the course of 20 hours. Film is cool because it's an hour and a half to two hours. You go on an adventure and by the end it's all cleaned up. Maybe in a franchise you have three chapters of a great story but in TV you can really get deep. You have more time to tell stories so I would definitely not rule out doing television in the future because I think it's a great medium for telling stories.” ThinkingTwoEndsStoriesFilmThreeCoursesOpportunityHoursHalfRichTelevisionAdventureTvsGoes OnMediumsMore TimeChaptersGet RealNeatTelling Stories Author:Chris Pratt
