I want to see Persona on big screen, also Mulholland Drive.<BR/><BR/>Thanks Vidya,<BR/>and yes, its so easy to write 'eat with eyes' but its very difficult to see a film like that.anuraghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03178119895116619951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8412586.post-16729134515871479292007-02-14T17:14:00.000-04:002007-02-14T17:14:00.000-04:00Yay, I got past the disclaimer :)An inspiring pos...Yay, I got past the disclaimer :)<BR/><BR/>An inspiring post.I think this would make a very interesting experimental short,"How to watch a film".Images are already lining up in my head based on the films you have listed!!<BR/><BR/>Loved the "just receive the images, eat with eyes" part but this is almost impossible to do .Once you watch a film of one director/cinematographer your mind starts second guesing what he / she would do next. The mind always tries to get ahead of the eyes and the net result is movie misery!!Vidya Jayaramanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11878238708389655574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8412586.post-35501389974024022162007-02-13T19:29:00.000-04:002007-02-13T19:29:00.000-04:00Wow, great post on a great topic...

I don't really have a how-to of my own or at least i have never thought about it but i agree with most of what you say. the only thing is that these days I always prefer watching movies alone... not because of any snobbery or anything like that but watching it with someone else always encroaches on some freedom and ability of free-association and immersion which is required. also much that I am grateful for the dvd revolution, i still regret and resent the fact that I was introduced to most of the great classics on small screen. on many occasions watching even a great movie becomes a sterile intellectual exercise. still a worthwhile experience but not a complete one.Alokhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12947383354732747209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8412586.post-62532586802521834192007-02-13T08:51:00.000-04:002007-02-13T08:51:00.000-04:00Thanks a lot, km, I really like 'Diary of a Countr...Thanks a lot, km, I really like 'Diary of a Country Priest', and especially the scene with young priest and the countess.<BR/><BR/>jabberwock, thanks for commenting and linking to your blog.
