On Daniel Purcell's Wall

Hey I didnt post on that arrogance thread but read your post and the posts directed towards you. First of all looking at your list of directors you dont seem to have a limited out look on film and secondly I think the fact your willing to address problems that bother you is admirable. I know people on the forum can sometimes come across as self gloryfing but I do not think it is this, I think that for a quite a lot of posters on this forum the films they have watched have become an extension of their personality and helped them towards what they would call "enlightenment". So for them to say I dont want to go backwards to what they would call simplicity is understandable as they are thinking of themselves which is not a bad thing, but on the other hand I do feel the condescending attitude sometimes used here and in life excludes people. Finally don't feel overawed by Godard and Nouvelle Vague fans, your a Lynch fan! He is an American genius(and in my opinion a million times better than godard) and proves that not all good auteur cinema comes from Europe or Asia. If you want to talk about film at some point, please post to me and let me know, as I know quite alot about East-Asian cinema and maybe you'd be interested in that, and I imagine there is alot i could learn off you. anyway dont let haters drive you off the site, remember this site is for everyone that loves film seriously not just Godard bummers. jamie
