About this Quote

This quote by Manuel Puig speaks with the concept that movies can be an effective kind of communication, but they may not be as effective as books when it concerns conveying intricate ideas. Puig suggests that a spectator with a philosophical mind, someone who is used to reading books, may not have the ability to fully understand the information presented in a film. This is since motion pictures are often more visual than textual, and they might not have the ability to convey the exact same level of information and subtlety as a book. Puig's quote indicates that motion pictures can be a fantastic method to interact ideas, however they might not be as reliable as books when it concerns communicating intricate ideas. Therefore, it is necessary to consider the medium when conveying info, and to be aware of the limitations of each.
