About This Quote
The two things that can absolutely not be carried to the screen are the realistic presentation of the sexual act and praying to God. If either is brought to the screen in a truly realistic way, it will cause many people to become uncomfortable. This discomfort would prevent them from watching or when they do watch, they may feel so uncomfortable that they may be forced to stop watching. Another reason why these things cannot be carried to the screen is because most people do not believe in God, but if they saw it happen on television, they might think that there is something strange about that.
