a rant about art
So I went ahead and watched this show “Undone” on Amazon Prime and it opened my eyes to the fact that I might need to talk to someone.
Like actually talk to someone about myself and the things that are me.
When I approached my friends about the show, and how beautiful 1 the art is, and 2 how much the message impacted me they all answered with the same thing, I’m not kidding. I’m talking 30 people all said the same thing.
“I’ve seen the ads for this and it doesn’t interest me.”
First of all, as an artist this breaks me. Someone’s life work, someone’s art that they got to the step of TV SHOW you are DISMISSING because of a stupid ad you’ve seen. Hear me again, SOMEONES PRIDE AND JOY THEY MADE TO HELP PEOPLE YOU ARE DISMISSING.
Second, if I, an intellectual (i had to speech to text two to spell intellectual) tell you as a REAL PERSON that, that sh*t indeed slaps. Then MAYBE listen to me.
I’m known for my strong opinions. Which brings me to my second point that we are ALL GUILTY OF. It’s when your friend tells you that they LOVELOVELOVE some song, or some book, or some show and all of a sudden you’re completely turned off by it. Like you can’t like it AS much, or you can’t like it if they do to. So 1. WHY WE DO THIS. 2. LETS STOP DOING THIS. And 3. WHAT??????? WHY???
So anyway Tumblr, and all of our opinions. This isn’t an add for Undone, it’s an add for art. Anything anyone has made in the universe. A song, a dance, a cat video, a gif set, a scene in a movie, an underground artist. Appreciate them, give them a chance, listen to your friends when they love something and try to love it too.
