One last Fast Cheap <\/em>post-<\/p>\n

We haven’t talked enough about the movie as a work of art.\u00c2\u00a0 We almost did, when we spoke about it as an elegy and about the editing process.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00c2\u00a0It’s not just a work of art, it is a work of art about art.\u00c2\u00a0 It reminds me of that painting, I think it is by Degas, where you see the artist in a mirror in the corner of the room, painting the scene.\u00c2\u00a0 Each of the four men interviewed has their obsession in common, like I said earlier, they are elemental artists working in different media.\u00c2\u00a0 Morris is the fifth artist in the film, and I’d like to say we learn as much about Morris as any of the other four.\u00c2\u00a0 It’s his work, his art.\u00c2\u00a0 He shows his sensitivity to certain issues, his subtlety (and blatancy, at times), and a good bit of what might be his soul.\u00c2\u00a0 At least, I felt like I knew him better than after the other films.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00c2\u00a0I read enough poetry to know that this can be a foolish path to follow, making the creator into the speaker.\u00c2\u00a0 But I think, as he removes himself from the position of obvious speaker, we can make the inference.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00c2\u00a0Like I said in class, perhaps it isn’t about a moment of connection “I know you are, you know I am” but rather a moment of artistic triumph, “I know you will know I was.”\u00c2\u00a0 Clyde Beatty can look into our eyes without an interrotron, seeing in the lens of the camera the myriads who wait to watch him.\u00c2\u00a0 But then, how many of us knew about Beatty before Fast Cheap<\/em>?\u00c2\u00a0 The discussion of the transience of art in the flim would make another blog post.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00c2\u00a0This movie was a poem-movie.\u00c2\u00a0 Fast, Cheap, and Out of Control<\/em> is a misleading title.\u00c2\u00a0 Perhaps it should have been titled Cut and Wait<\/em>.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00c2\u00a0I hate to see this movie go- talk with me about it whenever you’d like<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
