"Nowadays people don't know how to handle it if all the ends aren't tied up and they're not told what to think in films. And if they're challenged, they think it's something wrong with the film"
- Alan Cumming
About this Quote
This quote by Alan Cumming speaks to the current state of society, where people are used to having whatever nicely packaged and described to them. Individuals are so utilized to having their ideas and viewpoints spoon-fed to them that when they are challenged to believe for themselves, they end up being baffled and believe there should be something wrong with the movie. This speaks with a larger concern of individuals not having the ability to believe critically and form their own viewpoints. It is important for people to be able to think on their own and not count on others to inform them what to think. People need to be able to believe outside package and be open to new ideas and perspectives. This quote is a suggestion that it is necessary to challenge ourselves and not hesitate to think in a different way.
