Robert Altman in 1976. I like the David Lynch stuff about the movie doing the talking about I always find the Altman version more thrilling: the world is different than we think, and cinema stitches reality together.

Robert Altman quote where he says: Another thing Nashville signifies is that we don't listen to words any-more. The words of a country song are as predictable as the words of a politician's speech. When President Ford announces that the state of the Union is that we're solving problems in the Middle East, we don't listen; we don't read or pay attention to what he says. It becomes rhythm and music rather than meaningful words. No one can quote one thing Ford has said since he's been in office.
Nashville is merely suggesting that you think about these things, allowing you room to think. Many people, I guess, want to know exactly what it is they're supposed to think. They want to know what your message is. Well, my message is that I am not going to do their work for them.
