looking again and again and reading steven's blog. it's not just of a different calaber, it's a different direction. a direction of intellectualism and detail beyond the wisps of thoughts in my head.
hmm.. direction. a nemisis of mine. for i've learned in many-a english assignments that i have no skill whatsoever of direction, i cannot for the life of me write a story that actually progresses. i can tell the moment, a make you feel that moment. but that can only take you so far.
but anyways, back to my direction.
the direction towards steven, towards critics, towards academia.
i just dont know.
i dont think i want that. i want to embrace my movies, to call them by name in times of crisis. i want to shamelessly watch and enjoy movies, movies like aquamarine and sky high. i said it, i like them. no matter how bad, cheesy, and plain stupid they may be, they are still escapes, still worlds to explore. still calling my name.
i want to watch quality movies... and my share of dcoms. and not feel like im lacking of taste, ya no?
and the directions towards exclamation points, and emotions, and excerps, thats where i feel i belong. relating me, my take, my thoughts. my memories with them, my experences.
maybe it's my age, or maybe it's my internal rays of sunlight, that tend to burst out and take restraint to hold back. i don't want to slash films, this, i know, i know. i dont want to tair down works, i don't have to heart for that.
maybe what i'm feeling is the emotional side of it. i want to praise the angles and writing and the message along with the hot actors, cheesey quips, and predictable happy endings.
the merit, AND the joy.
i do not want to loss the joy.
is that possible?
i want to praise my cheesey low-budget musicals, that i found for the actors but kept for the love. i want to frolick in the wonderful mush, however predictable it may be.
but, i want meanings tooo. i want insights to life, through film.
i want. both.
