“We're still on pause waiting for things to shape up better. I don't think the commentary is anywhere near as dire as it had been.”
Donna Van Vlack
“Movies can be effective in influencing people to think in ways they might not otherwise be exposed to. Social commentary in films is most effective when you're not aware of a soapbox. Making the point without force-feeding the audience is the most desirable approach.”
Walter Koenig
“It's surprising that out of all the commentary you read on what's happening, nobody thinks it's just a basic inflationary story.”
James Padinha
“When you think of certain sounds and music representing certain communities, you can get into some pretty interesting critical commentary when you put music together. Serendipitously, these songs signify each other.”
Wayne Marshall
“What a commentary on civilization, when being alone is being suspect; when one has to apologize for it, make excuses, hide the fact that one practices it - like a secret vice”
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
“It is too easy to make commentary on my life from your luxury box.”
Shane Pendley
“[While the album, a social commentary about suburban malaise and global misguidance, comes with a parental advisory sticker, Green Day's concerts don't come with a warning about all the F-bombs Armstrong drops between songs. As the father of boys, ages 6 and 10 (who have seen the show, he says), he says that he's well aware of his language and that he uses certain words to make a point.] I don't consider it vulgarity. I think of it more as reality, ... It's up to the parents to be the judge of that.”
Green Day
