![“When I go to the movies, and I have to sit through ten previews of films that look [alike] and tell the whole story, you know that we've reached an age of consensus.

We have to move away from that.” quote by Oliver Stone](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/cc1/oliver-stone-1812_age_when-i-go-to-the-movies-and-i-have-to-si_810722.jpg)
