The cinematic temple
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.
