マーティン・スコセッシさんのインスタグラム写真 - (マーティン・スコセッシInstagram)「Repost from @thefilmfoundation_official • By Kent Jones This morning, I looked at a diagram on the 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑺𝒕𝒐𝒓𝒚 𝒐𝒇 𝑴𝒐𝒗𝒊𝒆𝒔’ website, an educational curriculum developed by TFF, offered at no charge, & used by teachers around the country. The concept of the diagram is simple: 3 circles represent Cinematic Reading, Narrative Reading & Historical/Cultural Reading respectively, & the areas where they converge. When the majority of people discuss a given movie, odds are they're speaking in terms of 1 of these. To read any film from the viewpoint of only 1 is to do it an injustice. It’s common to speak of documentaries solely in terms of what they’ve “documented,” but that begs the question: why are some great while others aren’t? Kopple’s Harlan County USA, included in the “American Laborer” module, is a stunning document of a bitter strike in KY mining country, but it’s also a great film with a powerful narrative drive. Preminger’s Advise and Consent, included in the developing “Politicians & Demagogues” module, is often spoken of in cinematic terms, but is also a juicy multi-character melodrama that becomes increasingly sensational & its wildest improbabilities are kept in check by a careful observance of behavior, decorum, clothing, movement & speech, rooted in a particular time & place. Every element intermingles with, buoys & sustains every other element & enrichs the greater whole. I was born in 1960 into a world that now seems as distant as the exoplanet Kepler 443-B is from earth. Cinema & network TV comprised the territory of motion pictures back then. Now, moving images come at us constantly, 150 characters is commonly considered writing & 300 words a tome, history is treated as a plaything & much suffering is tolerated. Literacy is crucial, verbal & visual. Literacy can’t be checked in a box nor downloaded. It can’t be purchased nor won. It can only be acquired, with the help of great teachers & programs. It’s what allows you to see, to separate the words & images that are there to be consumed, the ones that are meant to sell you something, ones that tell you lies & ones that are simply offered to you in a spirit of wonder & delight.」5月22日 5時15分
