Quote by Dirk Benedict

Movies are movies, television is television.

Movies are movies, television is television.

Summary

This quote by Paul Schrader suggests that there is a fundamental distinction between movies and television as mediums for storytelling. Schrader seems to emphasize that movies, with their larger budgets and cinematic scope, offer a unique experience compared to television. Movies provide a particular form of escapism through their visual spectacle and immersive storytelling, while television is often associated with more serialized, long-form narratives. Schrader's message can be interpreted as acknowledging the differences in production values, storytelling techniques, and audience engagement between these two popular forms of visual entertainment.
