Under highly unusual historical circumstances, the mirrors sometime become
narcissistic. There is a single-point agenda - pushing one's self-image no
matter what - which they begin to project relentlessly. Thus, a perfectly
vibrant term like 'ethics' will becoming quietly and deadeningly synonymous
with 'professional ethics' and in all ensuing debates no other meaning of
the term shall be entertained. Poor Emmanuel Levinas! Wonder how he would
cope with being told how passe his use of the term 'ethics' is!
Too much of cinema could be disorienting to point of absolute self-love -
select your films, select your poets and chew the little you can digest
properly.
