0:14 Yet????? 🙃 29:43 Yet again?!?!????? 1:08:33 okok last edit but yes that is the only apt description for highschool. Thats also the only reason i was motivated to do well and graduate a year early. Also because I didn't want to feel like a disappointment if i failed. 1:15:46 dang you made me go back on my word that is a really powerful message to just drop out of nowhere. I've really been enjoying watching your videos from that first one about love in media i found randomly in my feed to now being subscribed and seeing so many great video essays with such impactful content. Its reassuring knowing that there's someone who can provide a really introspective view on their opinions while collecting and organizing those thoughts so well. I hope that i can draw as well as you can write soon. Have an awesome day!
Imagine instead of pouring time into you Passion straight up doing nothing balance is the key. Time passes its what we make of it. Art can broaden the horizon or simply being seen as a simple hobby. The most Interesting describtion of Art i heard was "In a Art you see the View the Artist has or want to show,its a communication of Emotions through Media (for example Paintings)".
Ive always wanted to make an amazing album and an amazing movie but just one of each. Sort of to make up for the many losses in my life idk but thats not the only reason. The way i would be fulfilled is by having it be a must hear on albumoftheyear and and a metacritic must see. I dont know it seems a little silly but this is how i find out about new art and i know there are people out there who feel the same and get excited when a new one comes along
I liked this video a lot. As someone who makes video essays, it spoke to me in ways that were pretty uncomfortable, but effective nonetheless. Thank you for making this video
you put too much romance into being a tortured artist, like doing this will make your art more valuable. how can you write good storys if the only personal story you have is you are always creating. the way you speaks is as if you are better. you dont care about women only art not like others. your above petty human romance*(are you sure your not afraid? scared of being judged and rejected?).
Okay at 14:51 I literally commented who it was because I would bother me not knowing who it is, but you made a valid point and I deleted it but … if you are going to talk about someone just do so or don’t speak about them at all, also love your videos so this is just a note
(The below comment is largely the crazed ramblings of a traumatized individual. It may not be fully meaningful, but it ends in a true place.) What so fight pain with more pain? Some avant garde works look very interesting to me but the one that I actually watched lead to me being suicidal for 3 months. Hell, I’m still suicidal. It really ruined me. How am I supposed to get healthy? By watching painful movies? I’m not trying to numb myself. I’m not an idiot. But I’m also not going to praise art unless I know it’s purposeful. I don’t want to be traumatized, but I don’t want to support useless works. I’m scared that watching avant garde works may lead to my death. But I don’t want to be a loser normal person. My experience seems to be that I feel terrible all the time, watch a movie about the emotions I’m feeling, and then I feel even worse because it’s like I have to deal with the trauma of myself and someone else. I don’t feel seen. I feel like someone else is being seen while I get ignored. What am I supposed to do? I don’t want to die and I don’t want to be boring. It’s like I have to choose between being an interesting avant-garde enjoyer and being alive. How it feels to watch this video: (You all think you’re better than the masses. You aren’t. If you were really better than them you would let them in. You’re just like them. Putting up these walls of supposed superior thinking.) I don’t think this video is actually putting up walls. I don’t really know why people enjoy avant garde works though. I think you said you would explain why they do. If I had to guess, it’s because there’s a lot of absurd things that society expects us to consider normal, and it’s nice to see something equally bizarre put on screen. It’s like, if you’re willing to accept these real absurdities, why would these fictional ones be any different? It’s a mirror. I’m afraid of dying. I don’t want to die while I have all this life ahead of me. The avant-garde work I saw made me feel like suicide is the only answer. Is it not understandable why I am averse to the genre? I would love to enjoy these avant garde works, but I also value my health. I think there is a chance that they will destroy me rather than heal me. Does this make me a loser normie? I think not. I’d like to say I enjoy all the right art, but conforming to what avant garde art says should be good isn’t any different to conforming to what popular media says is good. I need to be self-reliant. You’ve piqued my interest in avant-garde films, but I will not be thrown around. I’m sure I will like them, but of course I will not refrain from criticizing them. That is the nature of avant-garde, is it not? Question it all. And really, what is so wrong with taking medicine when you are sick? Each piece of art I experience is an experimental bit of medicine. Some will help, some will harm, and some will do nothing at all. Mistakes validate the effort of trying. They guide you along towards clearer paths. I will watch avant-garde media. Avant-garde media will not change me, but I may choose to allow it to influence me. I will respect well-crafted material even though I owe it nothing and it owes me nothing. The power of self-reliance strikes. As long as I am true to my heart, I am doing the right things.
''Our enemies are right, our friends are right, it's an awful big country and an awful lot of different kinds of people in it and violence always has been a part of our story'' Orson Welles is right to suggest that if you only judge your country based on the behaviour of the good people in your country and not the brutal and belligerent also, then you fall into a blinkered vision of your own collective effect and universal input on the world, the good people including the bad ones, in all its consequences upon the happiness, health and prosperity of the people whom are victims of that violence. America empowers the good people to be protected from harm, but not all of the time, from its bad, and it empowers as a double-edged sword, all of the bad people to have those same privileges and honours bestowed upon them as their good counterparts.
Gee, I really disliked Climax. Dance/performance art enthusiasts really like telling me "that's the most avant-garde thing you're ever seen" and proceed to showing sad and shallow movie with mid sound design. Sorry honey, that was just 90 minutes of noise and I can feel the same thing when going to a club and that's why you will never see me there unless in heavy depression. It's not even that I dislike performance art in particular, I'm just salty at like three separate theater kids that recommend me (intellectually) boring things. I'll get my revenge one day
38:08 ????????? New??????? Sade was writing about his own life. Kazuo Hara was making documentaries on his wife divorcing him in 1974. Duvert was writing about his sexual deviances in the sixties. Artists have been declaring their entire lives as Performance Art since the sixties. There was art theory written in the 80s about "Life Art." Philosophers have been debating questions of performance and life and art for decades now. C'mon...
Very funny/ly ironic that a video about the Avant-Garde barely features any actual avant-garde films (Throw Away Your Books and Jeanne Dielman being probably the only ones that would fit even a more loose definition of Avant-Garde). There is a very common (silly/naive) mistake being made here: to conflate "Experimental Cinema" with "Avant-Garde Cinema," leading to this whole mess. It's genuinely frustrating to click on a video about avant-garde cinema and see no: Structuralist, Formalist, Minimalist, Dada, Conceptual Cinema-with a noteworthy lack of any Video Art too; can't forget that.
Hi Tensai, ive watched this video of yours multiple times and id like to recommend you a comic (webtoon) that i'd like you to review. Its called purple hyacinth and its a beautiful piece of fiction and id love to see you deconstruct/dive deep into it. It may seem your typical comic that is designated for the female lens but its so so much more than that (trust). anyways i thought of this while watching this video for the fourth time, and i thought you may like it. Purple hyacinth has the typical romance trope of enemies to lovers but the creators do a wonderful job of deconstructing it and giving them so much more depth. Note its main genre is not romance, its a mystery/action/thrilled; romance is merely a subplot. Anyways id really appreciate it, if you gave it a visit. Its currently on hiatus because one of its creators is unwell, and id wish it get more recognition. Purple hyacinth is well crafted piece of art, with beautiful art and music (composed by the creators) accompanied with mostly every chapter. You can read it till chap 20.
0:55 the fact that there's "anime" just like that in the trigger warnings hurts me but it's fair, it is one of the medium who's the most apologist of everything else mentioned in the tw except maybe domestic abuse (but even there it depends on what kind) 😭
9:40 i don’t buy it. Atleast not for several generations. And especially for the past 30 years, African Americans have been some of the most pronounced celebrities, actors, musicians, athletes, even disproportionately so. Black people are cool and loved by the vast majority, and we all act like it and idolize them. Idk i just think that unless you are talking about 80-100 years ago we shouldn’t be perpetuating this attitude. I think a lot of it has to do with simple fact that the majority of the US is caucasian. You wouldn’t go to India and be like WTF why are all of their celebrities and politicians Indian?! They must be racist…
