  1. We're looking at billions of people (actors and anyone behind-the-scenes included) trying to unite themselves under something and failing at that because the stories no longer unite, they divide. The audience should only be challenged when they will be united by the experience. In the age of social media, films need to be developed to avoid toxic situations while giving room for artists to inspire. 

     

    If good music justifies poorly executed repetition, maybe the audience (myself included) should adjust their expectations when it comes to blockbusters.

    Valuing the sterile facts of those stories more than the things about them that make us think or feel is a sad thing indeed.

     

    Back in 2017, I was wondering why would people argue over plot points and character arcs if they know that what they've been given was a film designed to mock their favorite films and to mock the people who enjoy them.

     

    The greatest tragedy of Star Wars is the fact that it went from being inspired by classic films to for-profit mockery of films and fans.

     

  3. I have a love/hate relationship with media. Media can be transformative, but also dangerous, esp. to children. I am always looking for new ways to think so here's my journey. 

    BAD

    High School Musical 1-3 and Asian tv shows

     

    GOOD

    Interstellar (2014)

    2001: A Space Odyssey (1968)

    Marriage Story (2019)

    Jojo Rabbit (2019)

    - Taika Waititi is not the first person to laugh at Hitler or to make a movie about him. But this story is important. We're on the verge of a new phase of isolationist BULLSHIT and we need stories like JJR to reminds us we're here to love, to open doors and to explore the universe, not to join Hitler's Losers' Club of Mistfits and Genocidal Psychopaths. This is happy-sad cinema done right!

     

    GREAT

    Arrival (2016)

    - "Non-zero sum game."

     

    FAVORITE TV CHARACTER: Data (Star Trek)
