What is best is not to let a few specific films interrupt the long range beneficial interests of all of us. It is to cooperate with you, collaborate with you, to join together in creative and investment adventures in cinema and television. That is the banner under we can all gather, and in that partnership to leap higher than either of us thought possible. Anything less is to unite in delusion, which is neither heroic nor useful. Never forget that the allure of movies and television to peoples of all nations is fueled by a spacious human need.
People work hard, raise their families, obey their nation's laws, participate in their community.
But they also want to be entertained, to be engaged and enthralled by the magic of story telling. Whether in a theater or enticed by home television, most people find it exciting to be transported to places they have never known, to hear and watch what makes them laugh or cry or be held in suspense. Asians have in front of them a grand visual table set with choices they never had before. The numbers are quite amazing. Cable will be operating in 120 million homes by 2000.
