A Word for Bruce Willis
- Share via
How interesting are the remarks of Bruce Willis at the recent Cannes Film Festival (“Generation Gap Alert,” May 16)! He states that “the written word is going the way of the dinosaur.”
Well, obviously Willis doesn’t read, nor do his friends. And I know the world is peopled with morons--with money--who will go to see his latest cartoon. However, I suspect that the world will remember Jane Austen long after Willis is gone and forgotten.
I would suggest, too, that without the written word, producers would have nothing to produce and directors would have nothing to direct. On the other hand, Willis would also have nothing to act, so it might not be all bad.
