Films:
Favorite films, seen in the order listed, represent a cinematic totem.

I watch films by director which means I’m mostly interested in the allegory, the structure, the way in which the message is delivered. The narrative of a film doesn’t matter as much to me as the way in which the medium is used.

If I had 24 hours to live, I would spend 2 hours dealing with reality and 22 hours dreaming.

Aurora

Draw me in; eliminate plot points such that the filmic ‘fog of the present’ represents my known experiential reality – but within that fog, don’t tell me that murder is unremarkable.

Within the nature of things, there is a simple truth that is a salvation to be gotten ….thus, it is not a matter of “convincing one’s self of something if they really want to believe it”. More, a matter of relationships that exist vs those that are imposed.

Paul Goodman: “…..suddenly I realized that they did not believe there was a nature of things. [To them] there was no knowledge but only the sociology of knowledge. They had learned so well that physical and sociological research is subsidized and conducted for the benefit of the ruling class that they were doubtful that there was such a thing as simple truth, …….Not only all institutions but all learning had been corrupted by the Whore of Babylon, and there was no longer any salvation to be got from Works.”
