In legatura cu Side Effects: sunt sigur ca nu va intereseaza articolul in sine, dar a scris si Bordwell despre el si macar introducerea care s-ar putea sa unga niste inimi aflate la ananghie filozofica (pe mine unu m-a lovit superb) merita raspindita. Puteam s-o pun pe topicul cu critica de film dar ar imbiba iar atmosfera cu pretentiozitate.
Occasionally someone will ask me how I watch a movie. Here’s a stab at an answer. If the film presents a story, fictional or nonfictional, I try to get engaged by it, as most viewers do. I also try to watch for how the filmmaker shapes sounds and images. Such things are hard to analyze on the fly, but we can at least be shot-conscious. I suppose as well there’s a small part of me asking whether what I’m watching is good or bad. Another part takes notice of what many viewers spot today: the sorts of story roles allotted to women and members of minorities.
At the same time, one module in my head seems to be looking for historical precedents and parallels to what I’m seeing. The purpose isn’t to dismiss current movies with “Aw, this has been done long ago.” Instead, I think I’m looking for ways in which earlier forms and styles are accepted, recast, or rejected by the creative choices being made today.
