I'm forever suggesting that this book or that film is about something in the real world and people oh so often reply to the effect that you could hardly expect the creator to be thinking about such and such. To which my stock reply has always been about the creator's subconscious has internalised the contemporary drama of the real world, then reconstructed it and represented it refracted through their fictional imaginations. It's really neat to see Gibson echo this. Perhaps I should learn that quote by heart so that I can spout it at will! 🙂
