If you want to work in a creative business (and before long most businesses will be creative businesses) you’ll have to get used to having a point of view on artistic stuff. Even if it’s not very artistic. You’ll have to be comfortable with expressing an opinion on things you don’t know how to make or do, like music or writing. You get better at that through practice. And through sharing what you’ve written.
So I wanted to talk about "Youth without Youth." A movie I recently saw at the Bijou on a rainy afternoon. I was going into with big hopes of the Coppola franchise. I have been getting into Sofia, champagne in a can made for Sofia Coppola by Frances Ford Coppola named after his daughter.
The movie was a total blur of reality. It started with a genius being hit by lightening that miraculously mutated his 70 year old self to 35 again. He also has super powers and is able to move metal and feel a book and comprehend everything in it. The whole time this epic film, all I kept thinking about was this is just a beautiful intellectual looking x-men. During his life he is searched out by Nazis to who want his power, and along the way meets another mutant girl which the same event happen to her, expect when the lightening hit her a ancient Indian god possessed her soul. As they fall in love she grows older, but apart she rejuvenates. Most of the movie was a lot of "lets see how this reverse black and white camera angle looks" or maybe some blurred vision. After 10 years Coppola came back with probably one of the most confusing and in ordain movies I have seen this year.
The reviews were hilarious because I really don't think anyone can grasp whats between the lines or what the symbols of immortality, time travel, lightening, and super powers all mean.
I picked this for a connection to the Coppola franchise that is throughout my blogs now I recently wrote about VLOGGED about Sophia's champagne in my food blog.
