Godawa (2009) quotes Geoffrey Hill’s comparison of the modern movie theater to a religious temple (“the cinematic temple”). With that in mind, answer the following questions:
- What do you think Godawa (2009) was trying to say with this passage?
- What parallels do you think there might be between what happens at a temple/church and what happens at a movie theater?
- In what ways can it be said that they have the same goal?
- Do you think it is a positive or a negative that the theater has taken this role? Defend/explain your assertion.
Within your answer in the initial post, include at least two direct quotations from the textbook Hollywood Worldviews. To demonstrate the skill of collegiate-level writing, quotations should be woven into your answer’s naturally (rather than merely “stuck on” or listed).
