The "art" of film pales in comparison to the older and more refined arts. Take look at some paintings by Frederic Sackrider Remington, books by Mark Twain, music by Henry Mancini, sculptures by Daniel Chester French, the architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright, and the mechanics of John Browning, just to name a few of my favorites.

I assume we've lost the ability to create good art a while ago. We went from finely detailed sculptures to paint splattered on a red wall. It's bad, but as a society, we can still fix this, as all we need is the imagination, courage and determination to make it happen.
