JFK (1991)
In this article, we will be looking at 2019âs book â1001 Movies to See Before You Dieâ and going through each film in a random order that I have chosen. We will be looking at what constitutes this film to be on the list and whether I think this film deserves to be here at all. I want to make perfectly clear that I wonât be revealing details from this book such as analyses by film reporters who have written about the film in question, so if you want the book itself youâll have to buy it. But I will be covering the bookâs suggestions on which films should be your top priority. I wouldnât doubt for a second that everyone reading this article has probably watched many of these movies anyway. But we are just here to have a bit of fun. Weâre going to not just look at whether it should be on this list but weâre also going to look at why the film has such a legacy at all. Remember, this is the 2019 version of the book and so, films like âJokerâ will not be featured in this book and any film that came out in 2020 (and if we get there, in 2021). So strap in and if you have your own suggestions then donât hesitate to email me using the address in my bio. Letâs get on with it then.

A Filmmaker's Guide to: In Media Res
In this chapter of âthe filmmakerâs guideâ weâre actually going to be learning about literature and film together. I understand that many of you are sitting in university during difficult times and finding it increasingly hard to study and I understand that many of you who are not at university or not planning on it are possibly stuck of what to do, need a break or even need to catch up on learning film before you get to the next level. This guide will be brief but will also contain: new vocabulary, concepts and theories, films to watch and we will be exploring something taboo until now in the âfilmmakerâs guideâ - academia (abyss opens). Each article will explore a different concept of film, philosophy, literature or bibliography/filmography etc. in order to give you something new to learn each time we see each other. You can use some of the words amongst family and friends to sound clever or you can get back to me (email in bio) and tell me how youâre doing. So, strap in and prepare for the filmmakerâs guide to film studies because it is going to be one wild ride.

Book Review: "Tiepolo Pink" by Roberto Calasso
"What happened with Tiepolo was the same thing that was to happen with certain imposing and mysterious ancient objects like the Shang bronzes: those aspects that resisted interpretation were considered decorative, while those too charged with meaning were labeled ornamental.â

Book Review: "The Hearing Trumpet" by Leonora Carrington
A book about the mundane human life of living to old age and then being shoved into a facility. A 92-year-old woman who believes she is perfectly capable of living on her own is admitted to an institution where she observes that everyone has given up in the name of weird cult-like religious sermons and living in igloo-style houses. Whilst she gets to know her institution, she also gets to know the Abbessâs story. It is one of adventure and trouble, mischief and love. Renewing her sense of life in this mundane living facility may be difficult, but the book slipped to her about the Abbess seeks to save her.

Bob Dylan's "I Shall Be Released"
The song âI Shall Be Releasedâ by Bob Dylan has been covered by many, many artists over the years with my personal favourite being by Nina Simone. The song itself is a great testament to life and death in which Bob Dylan explores the point of imprisonment and the way in which someoneâs own reflection can be seen in a place which is without any mirrors. Now, what we talk about in the posts of âDylan in a dayâ is not the critical analysis behind the songs but instead what we think the songs might be about. I have read way too many books on Bob Dylanâs songs to start giving a citation for everyone I use, so instead I want to talk to you about what I take from the song myself. âI Shall Be Releasedâ has to be one of my favourite songs by Bob Dylan and it actually appears in two different main forms: one being on âThe Greatest Hitsâ album along with âWatching the River Flowâ and the other on the âRawâ or âCompleteâ version of âThe Basement Tapesâ. By general consensus, the latter seems to be the one that is more liked of the two.
