A quotation from Salman Rushdie
Great art, or, let’s just say, more modestly, original art is never created in the safe middle ground, but always at the edge. Originality is dangerous. It challenges, questions, overturns assumptions, unsettles moral codes, disrespects sacred cows or other such entities. It can be shocking, or ugly, or, to use the catch-all term so beloved of the tabloid press, controversial. And if we believe in liberty, if we want the air we breathe to remain plentiful and breathable, this is the art whose right to exist we must not only defend, but celebrate. Art is not entertainment. At its very best, it’s a revolution.
Salman Rushdie (b. 1947) Indian novelist

#HarryHamlin on how his #gay #role in 1982 still impacts #audiences despite being “#sanitized” by the #studio.
The first #script for the 1982 #film ‘#MakingLove’ was much #edgier than the #script that ended up being shot and that’s what I liked about it. They kind of #whitewashed it a little bit along the way thinking that the #edginess of it would turn the #audience off.
