film v language

A shot is worth more words than you can come up with. Film is too logically poor and too semantically rich. Language is articulate by being determinate and sacrificing detail. Film is articulate by being indeterminate and sacrificing logical richness.

    That is a crock of shit. Apart from paraphrasing 'a picture is worth a thousand words', what does 'logically poor and too semantically rich' mean? By definition language is articulate and can be very detailed. The last sentence is beyond me. This is a joke,right?

    I get it, someone's practising to be a film critic.
