AND... FOLLOWING UP AFTER THE PREVIOUS POST I FIND THIS CONCISE AND PROPHETIC PIECE ON THE DEMISE OF THE MEDIA AND ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY.
There was a time when the Cannes awards meant something valuable but now...
There were times when Cannes was praising masters. People came here to tell the world something that the world didn’t know or didn’t know how to express. This was once a great cultural event that inspired people and made them see something that affected their minds and souls.
Today Cannes just signals the decline of the cinema as an art form. It shows how bankrupt the movies have become. And this, probably better than anything, explains the choice of Sean Penn as the chief justice of the festival. He is just perfectly representative of everything that went wrong with cinematic expression. The movies today communicate exactly what Sean Penn communicates through his life and on the screen: a confused and weak character moved by anger and immersed in despair; artistically dead and socially wired; cowardly to fight, yet, anxious for world peace; unable to discern good from evil, relative in truth and absolute in fallacy …and above all impure in every single move.
It is this impurity that leads to the clinically bizarre fascination with tyrants and mass murderers...
In the quote I have listed we find the perfect definition of a reprobate mind... unable to discern right from wrong... good from evil... light from dark.
When you have time go read all of Yervand Kochar's article for some relevant cultural enlightenment about the impending doom of Cannes and the guild.
