Thank you for Reinforc(e)ing

I am making a documentary for classical studies: documentary. And despite my thinly veiled distaste for "nuanced," pseudo-hipster, egregious criticism (because, you know, I can see how hard Steven Spielberg was trying to get his point across and you are in denial.. durh)

I love everything about my aesthetic and intellectual class experience. I also love blueberry yogurt with granola and the ga state library.

Im going to film myself for an undetermined amount of time. I've been thinking that my inspiration is going to stem from the cinéma vérité style of Trihn minh-ha. Reassemblage is unbelievably eye-opening as far as, introspectively, how you approach the way you think about. (that period signifies everything you see, do, think) My focus is going to be the mudane aspects of every moment that you turn on autopilot and coast. eating, peeing, driving, etc.

I have to give credit to dr. roberts for inspiring/or leading the way to the sounds I will use. It will incorporate the interview aspect that we all love so dearly (minus a bullhorn unfortunately) and I want it to feel familiar. So as we watch my banal existence in this world and my horrendous commute *cough, cough you will hear:

first children, the adults, then oldies answering the following (indefinite at best) questions.

- What is an adult like/what does an adult do/what will you be like when you're an adult

-What is your adult life like/is your adult like what you imagined it would be like/what did you think you would be like at your age

-Are you satisfied with your life/is it what you imagined it would be


Maybe you can see how its playing out? you see me, being ordinary while you hear children playing out their adult fantasies, adults musing over their current situation, and oldies reminiscing about the past

so I guess one could ask oneself, am I living the way I thought/want/dreamed of living? will I regret my decisions later in life?

or not. but you might see me naked, so thats... innnnteresting.

what do you think?
