certain hold memories people remain true
People have certain memories that they hold very dear, so you want to remain true to them.

humiliating values
It's humiliating to have to explain your value.

I always say, what really makes a movie commercial is that it makes its money back.
narrative hollywood cinema
There were Hollywood movies and then there were those aggressively anti-narrative films that they showed at the Collective for Living Cinema.
