Bambi B ( how is your first name,or am I too indiscreet?) but I is like talking to a phantom without the prejudice of a picture within a name-
The beast in us? Porno never really sublimate us, but is the very essence of our life, the main motor.
At least when you are young. But that it use every new technology comes hardly as a surprise...
What IS is target audience? The cleaning lady ( go on Patrick, be arrogant ) and the romantic soul of a "Drei Groschen Roman ? "
Or the brutal youth killing machine.
Irony, maybe if I think back I can contemplate the possibility, but to tell you frankly his personality shining through his films never gave me lust to go after any symbols or analogies nor parables.
Now I can more critical as I saw only a few films, , ( for one time I did dig his Abyss for his immortality as love being the vector )
True Lies, I hardly remember and as for Terminator I never care, nor for Titanic then and now it is a failure.
Comparing to both others main version ( The Stanwick and the English one ) it fall back.
Alien was inventive and very well made, but not a film I would really love.
" 13 year old boy in all of us " Well I believe then that I am an old man by now, may have lost the magic, who knows, but the magic for me go through my own fantasy and not through technical wizardry, on the contrary this effects tend to kill mine.
"I may seem an apologist to Cameron in trying to suggest an importance to his work"-
Yes...But I hope HE deserves you. Anyway I will see Avatar and try to watch it with the few feelings you sent overboard to me.
But please NO Titanic II.... (Even not with the brilliant distribution..)
Bises,
Patrick
