1월 5일, 월요일.
today, I found myself at teh library again, immersed in the worlds of film criticism and film theory.The line between analysis and evaluation remains unclear, but I now want too truly *see* movies, not just watch them.
Film shifted from a hobby to an intellectual pursuit after reading “Film Viewing.” Engaging with film is now an act of thought and inquiry.
Childhood Memories – The author recalls frequent childhood cinema visits with an uncle during a time when movie theaters were popular due to limited television access.
Film Preferences – While enjoying blockbusters, the author prefers self-reliant and art-house films, particularly low-budget Korean productions, though Japanese films currently dominate theaters.
Streaming Benefits – Platforms like YouTube and streaming services allow for pausing, rewinding, and re-examining scenes, revealing subtle directorial choices.
Film Analysis – Rewatching a film revealed a psychological battle as a generational clash, with layered metaphors throughout.
Learning through Film – Books on film empowered a “deeper” viewing experience, and the author learned how metaphors can be visually realized.
Film Club Impact – A review of *Plan 75* sparked conversations and reconnected the author with friends.
Truffaut Quote – French director François Truffaut said loving a movie involves seeing it twice, writing about it, and making one.
I’m still a long way from directing a film, but I’ve begun the process of rewatching and writing.
Perhaps I’m now standing at the threshold of the second step in loving cinema.
