Film is a language
Film is a language. You can communicate almost anything in this language. How awesome fire and water are. Whether someone is guilty of a crime. I wonder if there really are cameras everywhere. I tend to think society can only operate in a civilized fashion under sophisticated forms of surveillance. Maybe we even have tiny cameras inside our bodies checking out the internal flow. God may be like a camera. You know He’s there. You ignore him, but you act differently knowing He’s watching you, somehow remaining invisible. Sometimes I feel invisible, like I’m a camera watching, recording and noticing things, but I’m afraid to speak and I go undetected. Some people are happy in front of cameras. Generally they are considered tourists, but I live here on this planet and I feel it’s time to speak in this language of film even though the world is so darlingly digital. From now on, I will speak in film and if I have to I’ll use words. Thank you, Francis Assisi. You inspire me.
