1. Cavell claims that television is more objective since it works in serial, while movie is more personal. A movie can stand by itself; one can relate one's own experience with the movie. As for television, it is about the ideas behind it, and Canvell believes that the characters in the TV show make a program valuable. However, to me, I feel there are movies that are more about ideas, and TV shows that are more personal. Is there a clear distinguish line?
2. Similar to my last question, Cavell also mentions the aesthetic values of television. Such issue is very subjective, everyone's opinion of what should be considered as aesthetic is different. In this case, how could Cavell decides what is aesthetically pleasing? I feel the whole reading is kind of a blur since everything he talks about is pretty subjective.
