Probably true about the many, but certainly not all. And it becomes something of a dangerous "catch-22," doesn't it? If Americans can't get more mainstream exposure to great works, then they're less likely to seek them out -- and the cycle continues.

At any rate, I'd be proud to continue to be a patron of the NFB, if they would let me.

because many americans wouldn't get them they prefer commercialized mindless entertainement

people's understandings are still valid because its their interpretation.

there is no one meaning but many so if one feels they understand it, let them be.

[Realfucksake]

the point is for it not to mean jack fucking shit. It's supposed to mean something to someone but let idiots argue about it.

[xXMrWooflesXx]

well...that was...interesting.
