Literatura Inglesa DE CINE
“The Cinema is a much more momentous invention than printing was. Before printing could affect you, you had to learn to read; and until 1870 you mostly had not learned to read. But even when you had, reading was not a practical business for a manual laboreer. Ask any man who has done eight or ten hours heavy manual labor what happens to him when he takes up a book. He will tell you that he falls asleep in less than two minutes. Now, the cinema tells its story to the illiterate as well to the literate…And that is why the cinema is going to produce effects that all the books in the world could never produce.” • (Bernard Shaw, 1912)
