Attenborough fears for future generations being corrupt
"I think the world is a harder place now for young people. In the Forties and Fifties, life seemed much simpler, especially in terms of what was acceptable and what was not acceptable. The world is also, I think, more corrupt," the Daily Express quoted Lord Dickie as saying. He also talked about the state of his first love performing arts.
"I
think
the
theatre
is
in
better
shape
in
that,
for
the
most
part,
community
and
world
have
accepted
that
(it
has)
a
contribution
to
make
to
our
existence,"
he
said.
"But
in
the
movies,
and
especially
in
television,
we
seem
to
have
lost
the
passionate
spirit
and
it's
tragic,"
he
added.
Attenborough,
who
is
stepping
down
as
Sussex
Uni's
chancellor
this
year,
also
revealed
his
plans
to
launch
his
own
drama
project
for
students
at
the
institution.
