It's the piece of media as a whole which is art, and yes, that is sacred.
Maybe we're talking about different things here.

Sorry if I'm playing devil's advocate here, but why?
What makes a finished piece of art so special that could not otherwise be improved by an added word, a new song, or an appended verse? It's one thing to associate notions of romanticism to completed works of art, it's another thing entirely to place them on some unreachable pedestal.
