For whom is Think Denk sanitized? Is this a PG-13 blog?<br/>2. Do you really think "Good Night" was excellent (albeit unmemorable)? That seems awfully generous to me. It had never seemed possible to make a film utterly devoid of ambiguity--until I saw it. I thought it black and white in every sense of the term. Questions:
1. For whom is Think Denk sanitized? Is this a PG-13 blog?
2. Do you really think “Good Night” was excellent (albeit unmemorable)? That seems awfully generous to me. It had never seemed possible to make a film utterly devoid of ambiguity–until I saw it. I thought it black and white in every sense of the term.

He speaks of films, (or concerts, or theater), making one feel healthy or unhealthy. And how the experience can alter your relationship to your fellow audience members, as well as your relationship to the environment upon exiting the theater, (be it the down-escalator in Lincoln Center or a bustling street in the Village). <br/><br/>For myself, I have a strong leaning towards films that work on me more like music - non-declarative, often to the point of non-narrative, but replete with meaning.

It’s also good way to think about what to give an audience – concentrated time.
