The topic at hand is a
vivid look at 90’s and a post 2000 film mentality from the thirty year
old guru and aspiring filmmaker. To begin, one doesn’t have to be a
seasoned film critic to realize that modern film has no boundaries; yet
it does have a few unwritten rules.
After one views recurrent themes, you begin to sense a connection to the
methods of madness. You see that a portrayal of death is used as a mock
transformation and that a couple of junkies have bigger fixations.
Certain stories captured on film are able to send subliminal messages
like shockwaves. To mention specifics would deter your ability to dig
deeper. The late 90’s have produced a great deal of creative work as
well as an independent spirit to do it yourself. Back to the unwritten
rules.
Rule number one; where’s Ashley?
Rule number two; who stole my notebook?
Rule number three; where did the pimp come from? He wasn’t there when
I needed help the most.
I know this may sound stupid, but how many times have you asked
yourself, where do these people (filmmakers) come from? I mean, to start
with a spiritual thing and to end with a sex scene? Maybe there’s a
mythical land? I mean these stories, where do they come from? In theory,
how does one write about a subject with no prior knowledge of it? Maybe
the college kids are right; the books are where it’s at. You can
slowly catch on to the fact that these whacked out story tellers are
human after all, just with a little added steam.
To aspire, you see nothing but glamour and glitz. Then your first peek
of the inside comes and you need to be consoled; you never thought that
being behind the camera took guts at all. Look in the mirror, keep
digging and treat yourself like royalty.
Peace. |
