Did I just have an epiphany?
What is wrong with a paper that has a broad title? Entailed within
said paper could be an insight into film-philosophy such that the
whole debate might reignite...
Are we not supposed to ask the same questions again at different
moments in time to see if we can arrive at different answers from last
time? Can any questions be definitively answered? Or has the
question "what is reality?" definitively been answered, too ("it is
the wildest fantasy")? All this relates to the very notion of being
(in an e-prime sense, is anything at all - in which case maybe there
can *be* no film as philosophykal medium, just... what? What is a
medium? Can anyone can anything? Can it. The singularity of 'a'
perplexes me as well. Perhaps only a medium essay, involving medium
level philosophy, rather than the work of the high school, and if we
mark a question three times, does that mean the question is worth
reiterating in very quick succession, in order to make the question
less a question than a statement that film can be a philosophical
medium, in which case this essay must de facto graduate from the
medium to the high school, since it too might reaffirm but from
another standpoint what triple question marks also seek to do...
Bring on the film and philosophy essay, I say! Well done to the
author for writing it.
