About Me

“Forget about becoming a filmmaker. Become an intellectual, a person to whom ideas matter. Read in history, science, politics, and the arts generally. Develop your own ideas, and see what sparks they strike in relation to films.” – David Bordwell

“The most radical, audacious thing is to think that there might be some point to working hard and thinking hard and reading hard and writing hard and trying to be of service.” -Mark Vonnegut

High School

The mechanisms and institutions of childhood development all conspire to do what society does: to instill deference to authority, suspicion of dissent, intolerance of idiosyncrasy, and an attitude of uniform compliance to accepted norms with the instinct to segregate and deride anyone who deviates from them. Wiseman captures every aspect of this process merely by caring to observe it. The ending is heartbreaking.

Hey, you're welcome! It's by far one of the most extensive lists I've come across, I'm treating it as a blueprint in my search for great cinema. And I'm glad to see Samsara on top for 2012, certainly one of my most memorable EXPERIENCES, film or otherwise.
