Frases de Joss Whedon

página 3

“Eu acho ótimo que a comunidade acadêmica se interesse pelo show. Acho que é sempre importante que os acadêmicos estudem a cultura pop, mesmo se o objeto de estudo for idiota. Se é bem sucedido ou marcou culturalmente, então é válido estuda-lo para descobrir o por que. "Buffy", eu espero, não é idiota. Enquanto escrevemos o show, refletimos muito cuidadosamente sobre o que queremos dizer emocionalmente, politicamente, e até filosoficamente. O processo de forjar uma história envolve os roteiristas e eu mesmo, e uma quantidade grande e diversa de influências, preconceitos e idéias são incluídas. Portanto é realmente, além de um grande fenômeno da cultura pop, algo profunda e complexamente estruturado, episódio por episódio. Acredito que haja muita coisa na série para ser estudada. (…) As pessoas riem dos acadêmicos por estudarem os filmes da Disney. Não há nada mais importante para eles do que estudar, pois eles modelam as mentes de nossas crianças possivelmente mais do que qualquer outro meio.”

Effulgent.”
