Lame


I have been watching more films than usual of late and felt the urge to share. Broken Embraces was such a beautiful film, the scenery with the vivid colors served as almost another character. The art in the homes, the layout of the homes, the bookshelves... I loved it. And then I started thinking about themes of films and the difference between being entertaining and being important to the genre/director/zeitgeist. The theme of the meta-reality of a failed/faded artist in the film. Affluent white people with their failures vs. the war film vs. the heist etc. I just like seeing the world someone else might see it, instead the way I see it. I suppose that's why people watch films.
