Watched INTERSTELLAR over the weekend, and was struck once again by the emotional pitch of our popular arts at the moment. I sometimes wonder if people in the future will look back at what we’ve made over these first fifteen years of the 21st Century and ask, why is everyone crying all the time?
And then I think, maybe they’ll look at the culture surrounding this period, and perhaps will add, well, it’s no wonder everyone in their films and tv shows is crying all the time.
