蔡聖勤主編的《英語電影文學與批評理論》內容簡介：The research shows that young adults spend nearly 50% of their leisure timewatching films and videos. In the past one hundred years the film has become avitally important part of contemporary culture, which is becoming increasinglysaturated by visual media today. We are called to acknowledge and analyze ourgreatest sources of entertainment and information as they influence the warp and woofof our lives.
The analysis of media arts is essential to the health of democratic society. Ourculture depends on literacy of the electorate, which gleans its information largelyfrom visual media. We must hone our skills as critical viewers by beingknowledgeable in the most popular art form of our time and possessing the analyticalskills to understand and interpret films.
