The stage is suspension of disbelief. Film is a literal medium.

What do you know? Haven't you heard of suspension of disbelief?

The whole film genre is one of deceit. It is the suspension of disbelief. That's what all theater and all film is based on.

It is now life and not art that requires the willing suspension of disbelief

You know, people come up with formulas who are uncreative. They can't picture something different so they can only go by something that's laid out for them.

My favorite comedians were Jimmy Durante, George Burns, senior citizens.
