Give me an example of what you mean by a folk artifact.


Fahrenheit 9/11. People went nuts. The folk aspects of that film were George Bush or Iraq or 9/11 or -- intense emotional issues that made people put up their blinders and say, "I have an opinion about this, and I'm not going to accept anything else." If you could look at these issues more open-mindedly -- at what's going on with the human mind behind all this, on all sides -- you could have a more interesting conversation, without people screaming, plugging their ears, and walking out of the room like kids do.


He's talking to you, Mindia.

I liked the part where the dude asked him how he wanted to be remembered


"I think I'll be rememeberd as a film maker. people will probably forget about all the technical/technology issues I solved"


Deep down, he'd rather be known as a techie

I don't think you give him enough credit if all you think he did was go to them and say "i need this fixed"

By making the film "about" something other than what it's really about. Which is what mythology is, and what storytelling has always been about. Art is about communicating with people emotionally without the intellectual artifacts of the current situation, and dealing with very emotional issues.
