Film in the 20th century, it's the American art form, like jazz.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
If you consider film an art form, as some people do, then the Western would be a truly American art form, much as jazz is.
Cinema is arguably the 20th century's most influential art form.
Jazz is a very accurate, curiously accurate accompaniment to 20th century America.
Undeniably the American art form, too. And yet more and more, we see films made that diminish the American experience and example. And sometimes trash it completely.
Jazz, rock and roll, movies and comics are the culture of America.
Jazz is an art that takes decades to appreciate and understand.
Movies were very important. The art-form of the 20th century.
I don't think that jazz, as any kind of an art form, has any permanence attached to it, apart from the practitioners of it.
Movies were never an art form, they were entertainment. It just evolved into an art form from there, and it's still evolving in different ways.
Painting, I think it's like jazz.
