Quote by Clive Owen

You go back to those films of the '40s and '50s and hear the dialogue, the way the people played off each other - the wordplay. I think we've really lost that in movies.

Summary

This quote suggests that the dialogue and wordplay in films from the 1940s and 1950s were exceptional but have now been lost in contemporary movies. It implies that the interactions between characters in older films were witty, clever, and skillfully executed. The quote laments the absence of such qualities in modern cinema, implying that the dialogue in movies today does not measure up to the standards of the past, resulting in a loss of charm and brilliance in storytelling.

America has been a land of dreams. A land where the aspirations of people from countries cluttered with rich, cumbersome, aristocratic, ideological pasts can reach for what once seemed unattainable. Here they have tried to make dreams come true. Yet now... we are threatened by a new and particularly American menace. It is not the menace of class war, of ideology, of poverty, of disease, of illiteracy, or demagoguery, or of tyranny, though these now plague most of the world. It is the menace of unreality.
