...have drawn these characters somewhat extremely but as true characters-colored by Tina's perception-they are convincing.

The heroes of, say, Steinbeck's Grapes of Wrath are effective by virtue of their humanity, but at the same time they are a bit dull.

But if other states fail to follow suit, the reformers say, then a constitutional rule for speedy trial may be the only way to waken...
...reach the people, let's get the people on the streets. So when we Americans make movies with radical points of view, we aim to reach the masses. Make it so they can understand it, we say. Well, what do they understand? Oh, Grapes of Wrath. Salt of the Earth. On the Waterfront, Catch 22, Or, Hunger: U. S. A. Maybe, Newsreel, Sure, it looks like Hollywood. Sure it looks like CBS. But then Hollywood and CBS reach a lot of people...
