American capitalism finds its sharpest and most expressive reflection in the American cinema.
Sergei Eisenstein (1957) Film form [and]: The film sense; two complete and unabridged works. p. 196.
Television
The luminous screen in the home carries fantastic authority. Viewers everywhere tend to accept it as a window on the world... It has tended to displace or overwhelm other influences such as newspapers, school, church, grandpa, grandma. It has become the definer and transmitter of society's values.
