“And don’t we – as children and
perhaps even later – romanticize cheap movie stereotypes, endowing them with
the attributes of those figures in the arts who touch us imaginatively? Don’t
all our experiences in the arts and popular arts that have more intensity than
our ordinary lives tend to merge in another imaginative world? And movies,
because they are such an encompassing, eclectic art are an ideal medium for
combining our experiences and fantasies from life, from all the arts, and from
our jumbled memories of both." - Pauline Kael, reviewing Band of Outsiders
