About this Quote

This quote by Robert Bresson talks to the idea that modern-day media has ended up being a source of distraction and negligence. He suggests that individuals are so inundated with media that they no longer put in the time to really engage with it. Rather, they look without seeing and listen without hearing. This is a commentary en route that media has actually become a source of home entertainment and distraction, instead of a source of education and understanding. Bresson is suggesting that people are not taking the time to truly engage with the media they take in, which this is leading to an absence of understanding and knowledge. He is cautioning that if individuals do not make the effort to genuinely engage with the media they take in, they will not get the understanding and understanding that they should be.
