Grief moves mountains
Kiss 1963

Watched by JEFFERSON EVEREST CRAWFORD 13 Aug 2020

I see two distinct directions of deconstruction Warhol could be taking. The first is a flattening, a slowing down and hollowing out of the classical Hollywood kiss. His kiss is stretched out across discrete angles and many actors, but remains a resemblance of those scenes, often covered by two angles and featuring the well known “half kiss” of the movies (which makes the romance of the “movie kiss” a touch ironic).

Turn Cloud Atlas up to 11, try making in search of lost time into a soapy action flick, with either an it’s a wonderful life moment or an orgy in each episode (or both), the dialectic version of tenet, a treatise on being friends, an entire show about holding hands, having sex and dancing (and resisting oppression at all costs), remember it’s the precursor to matrix resurrections, and ur coming close to describing sense8 - Lana Wachowski’s “peak…

total masterpiece
Blockbuster driven solely on emotion
Ecstasy
