@enniottefire But you're totally right I'm a pedantic guy only for that matter aha and I'm sorry if my messages seemed that way, it was not the intention. But I think I'm not in the wrong neither. Anyway have a good day 😂
@enniottefire It's only a matter of respect. But it seems you already knew about that misleading quote issue, so you're intelligent enough to understand that. It's probably "only a detail" for you but a detail can change a lot of things. Especially our view about art & life. Anyway sorry again
@enniottefire Words are about feelings too, if you post the wrong words on Hara's smile, her smile will seem totally different to the world, not intended by Ozu. It's like changing words to a quote from a novel for your own perception of a scene, it doesn't really make any sense at the end
@enniottefire I was just pointing that tendency to post wrong screenshots that convey wrong meanings about the film. It becomes that matter whether you like it or not. I'm pretty sure Ozu or Hara would not like their words twisted
@enniottefire I'm not saying you're expressing a nihilistic vibe volontarily.. I'm saying it's a wrong translation like many others that tends easily to occidental nihilism unconsciously. That exchange in the film and her smile is not and it has a sweet melancholy as you say.
@enniottefire So yeah I'm maybe a pedant there but it's for a good cause. Ozu talked about these sort of feelings of course that we all have but he was not a nihilist, you know what I mean ? I've seen so many wrong translations of asian films by the occidental world, it's kind of crazy.
@hyperstitial Of course, I'm not saying that you should read without getting out of your house for years and years, I'm saying there's always a notion of balance to that issue.
@hyperstitial It depends about your own definition of "waste". If you're stressed about the idea of doing "nothing" for a period such as reading or else, then I'm sorry but you must be out of balance right now. Your mind needs some space to grow, even for your goals.
@hyperstitial I just saw in your profile that you're fond of the "Borromean knot of the Real", so I'm surprised that you don't know the lacanian necessity of the game of reading/writing as a push of the symbolic cercle in our lives. Lots of phenomenology talks about the need of litterature.
@hyperstitial Dreams are not that different from memories because sometimes, what we think about a memory was actually a dream we made, and the reverse could exist too sometimes. Without fiction and interpretation, the Real becomes impossible for us as Lacan said. So reading is essential.
@iycrtylph Deleuze said one time that he hated Wittgenstein but without explaining why, he was one of the guys but he's definitely not THE guy. I would better say "Marc Richir is the guy" (post-Husserl phenomenology era) but the occident is not ready yet..
