Welll written but this is a very subjective interpretation. In fact the inverse is true, in the 50s and 60s the cultural climate was far more “oppressive” and panopticon like. This is evidenced in an early episode where Don is leaving the artist/painters house. There’s hippies in there and when Don decided to leave they tell him that he can’t, there’s police out there!
Don says it doesn’t apply to him and he walks out. His attire would let him leave, where as the hippies would have been arrested.
However technology presents a worse panopticon, an inhuman one. Atleast in the 60s it was a human panopticon.
@MuseZack@SandyofCthulhu There's also much subtler ways of showing a "refusal of the call", it can be something a simple as glance in the mirror. Or a thought that runs through the characters' head. As long as it philosophically/cannonically exists you can satisfy that "beat"
It’s primarily composition. Utilizing several conventions, for example distributing subjects across the foreground, midground and background. After that it’s tedious “art direction.” I guarantee that the foliage was either trimmed or added, smoke was blasted in before they rolled the camera.
Thank you, i don’t get why people can’t grasp this. No one wants to sit and make their own content, people don’t even want to cook their own food. No doubt that this will create upward mobility and open a new lane for many creators, but per capita it won’t be a huge difference. It’ll be like how DJ/Producers emerged in the 2010s and put traditional musicians and band out of work. You didn’t need an expensive studio anymore, you could just make music at home.
