Movies are awesome. Was watching a bollywood classic with my grandparents that they last saw when they were teenagers (1957), and my grandma casually dropped a major spoiler 20 mins in
People rediscovering that lower def video game graphics often had better and more memorable aesthetics is just another instance of people realizing what the essence of cartooning is. What boiling a visual down to its pure essence through process (and in the case of limited graphical capability, necessity) of elimination was. Creative and ingenious solutions to visual communications problems are bolstered through limitation, and those solutions are often timeless, brilliant and truthful.
probs a blasphemous take for a californian, but I think beaches were meant for the sunrises
beach sunsets are obv these very cinematic declarations of nature’s beauty that’s meant for everybody, but a beach sunrise always felt like an invitation for few, almost conspiratorial
Are there different types of knowing? Is there an atomicity of “knowing” that is beyond proof?
Dreams can be electromagnetically measured, create biological responses, but to most people, are less real than… fate or coincidence or god
Is it simply bc we don’t choose them?
Evolutionarily speaking, dreams are insane. Especially one of those afternoon naps when nothing crazy happens but you’re just talking to your mom
She was just there, I had a full blown convo, but my mind “knows” it wasn’t real
Consciousness literally is just a state of mind
The mind constructs realities all the time: we can lie, write fiction, even have full blown delusions and beliefs that might last a lifetime
But wake up from a dream (which is arguably also a lived experience)… and the same mind immediately knows that it’s not real??
@MarchInPlace@juliancd38 very cool! I didn’t know that. I looked it up and I think there’s still photochemically something cool about firefly light because it doesn’t count as black body radiation so it’s technically outside the “color temperature” scale
We’re not meant to see them like this!!
This film is specifically made to balance hot lights (indoor bulbs), but inadvertently turn skies purple bc they’re much cold light sources
FIREFLIES don’t produce any heat at all (100% light) so they’re completely unaffected by the film
