Perhaps I’ve never understood myself more than Howard Suber explaining the patterns and overarching themes that make films timeless. Why do we, as a culture, rewatch certain movies repeatedly? What makes them forever relevant? If you are to understand anything going on, start by watching The Power Of Film on HBOMax. You don’t have to take color coordinated notes like me, that’s that ElRo! ElRo! But pay attention to: heroes vs. villains, seizing control of your destiny, power of paradox, love and meaning, chimera, triangulation, and compare it to what you’re seeing now via me.
Apocalypse in Greek means revelation, all is not what it seems. Things appear a certain way, but it isn’t so. The book of revelations is the most popular biblically. Howard Suber made me aware that we are living this moment. Storytelling is everything to humanity, expressions of souls, parables of the universal laws are found there. Sorry not sorry AI art isn’t really art, but I’ll save that for a different article.
Growing up we had this forest green treasure chest, with gold trimming, filled with movies. Causing me to view them as sacred. Going to the video store was sacred. At first my sister & I had to agree on a tape, eventually we were able to choose one each, the highlight of our weekend. If my parents got one thing right, it’s my love of art, music & cinema specifically. It’s part of why I’m so eclectic, as their taste is a testament to their time passed down to me, expanded and shared. I devoured films, even minoring in it (read Who Is Serge Becker?). All is not what it seems. Who possesses the tongue that The Rolling Stones use as a logo? What does Kali mean? Who are her Greek & Roman counterparts? Who is California named after? Start there. Enjoy your time, those who aligned on the side of evil. Via: HBOMax
