Watched Spike Jonze’s comedy-drama meta-film ‘Adaptation’ last night again 📼 edited by Eric Zumbrunnen.
“The evolution of our culture has occasioned the evolution of our audiences, which has occasioned the evolution of our films.
Today's audiences are handling what amounts to visual hip-hop, the narrative fruits of movements in art that range from post-expressionism to deconstructionism to rock 'n' roll and rap. On screen at our multiplexes are the effects of generations of television, years of computers and Internet, interactive computer games, the Cuisinart, channel-surfing and CNN's newsreel. They trust that disconnected threads and themes and events come together eventually in a manner that signifies something more than chaos.”
