…On Robert Redford
FROM pg 58…
Redford examined the country’s values in 1999’s Quiz Show, a drama starring Ralph Fiennes based on a real-life television scandal in the 1950s. The film earned four Oscar nominations, including best picture and best director. “I thought it was interesting to comment on how the public gets completely taken advantage of by the lies that get told to them,” Redford told Entertainment Weekly.
Kind of interesting, isn’t it?… “1999’s Quiz Show”… “the lies that get told to them” …Kind of interesting.
Anyway, I guess to Robert Redford then, Quiz Show was about the world’s biggest liar. To me, Quiz Show is about the word’s biggest social contagion. We’re probably both right.
