Seeing as how I have decided to forgo cable TV, and seeing as how my TV has decided to forgo any reception, I have been making much greater use of my Netflix account. While the Garden Theater here in town plays independent films, it only has two screens, so I do miss a few.
I watched a moved called Paris, Je t'Aime, over the weekend. A slew of internationally famous directors create five-minute long vignettes, and they are all set in different neighborhoods. The stories are very dissimilar, and each director has his or her particular style, and I guess this is the point. Paris is a huge, diverse city, and each of the stories highlight that. None, however, seem to go out of their way to romanticize Paris. While I suppose it is meant to play a "character" that ties everything together, I don't know if I was necessarily all that grabbed by it. It was interesting to see all the different styles, but I don't my attention is geared toward small little snippets.
On another note, what's harder: being rejected outright, or small, little incremental rejections...kind of like rejection by paper cut, rather than by a vicious punch to the stomach.
Just curious.
