“There seems to be an assumption that if you're offended by movie brutality, you are somehow playing into the hands of the people who want censorship. But this would deny those of us who don't believe in censorship the use of the only counter-balance: the freedom of the press to say that there's anything conceivably damaging in these films - the freedom to analyze their implications. How can people go on talking about the dazzling brilliance of movies and not notice that the directors are sucking up to the thugs in the audience?” PeopleIfsWantBelieveUseHandsSeemsFilmTalkingAudienceViolenceGoes OnBalanceDirectorsPressesDon't BelieveDenyAssumptionMovieCensorshipOffendedImplicationsBrillianceBrutalityThugFreedom Of The PressDazzling Author:Pauline Kael

The only explanation would be that it would be an act of masturbation. I think that every creator is looking for a receptor. He's looking for an audience. There are two parts of the equation: a creator and, necessarily, the receiver of the work.
