To feel, to learn, to wander, to explore, to discover, to delve, to know. This is what sustains my attraction.

"Whether as drama, novel, science fiction, poetry, or an evocation of tradition, experience and fantasy must return in all their fullness to stimulate as well as to suggest."

Murray Bookchin (author, The Ecology of Freedom: The Emergence and Dissolution of Hierarchy, 1980)

what exercise is to the body”

I think only a discerning audience can create good cinema culture. If the audience only wants melodrama and exaggeration, or confuses vulgarity for art, they lose the ability to face the realities of life. I am not really surprised that a film that deals with life as we live it attracts less audience. Any work of art especially cinema should shake you up; it shouldn’t leave you unaffected. Aesthetically and intellectually, it should stimulate you, disturb you. Not that I think that cinema can bring about a big social revolution. But it can certainly create awareness, which forms the base of any social change.
