One of the many reasons film is so fascinating is they have the capability to bring out so many different kinds of emotions in us. There are so many excellent films that can easily make us laugh, cry and reflect. They can scare us, make us edgy, disturb us, make us angry, sad and/or happy. Movies can also be entertaining enough that we find ourselves watching the same one again and again. However, there are a few movies that are much too intense to view more than once. This is what I'd like to focus your attention on. These movies usually tend to touch base on sensitive topics. They are definitely worth watching once, however after that the need to re-watch them any time soon, or ever again for that matter, is undesired. And on many occasions these powerful, intense movies win Oscars. To prove my point, I have made a list of the top 5 films I consider to be amazing and extremely well done, yet "Too Intense to Re-Watch."
"I don't know what space exploration will uncover, but I don't think it'll be exploration just for the sake of exploration. I think it'll be more the fact that it allows us to see things. That maybe we should have seen a long time ago. But just haven't been able to until now."
Some of the scenes were filmed at the Coachella Festival in 2017, where Lady Gaga was the first female headliner in ten years. Festival-goers paid ten dollars to see the scenes being filmed, although recording devices were locked away to prevent any footage being leaked.
I feel film matters because we use it to tell stories about who we are as a society. They are a record of what makes us human and what concerns us in our everyday lives. Film has the power to transform emotions and it gives us opportunities to expand our horizons. It has the power to connect us to a whole new world outside our own. It's magical. Moreover, film is the most prevalent form of communication and entertainment in the postmodern world. Even while we are mindlessly absorbed in a favorite entertaining past time, we are subtly and unconsciously washed with layers of cultural values. Some films are fleeting entertainment while others are truly magnificent, dazzling, thought-provoking works of art.
Long Live Film!
