Film Journal 2/21

One of my favorite bands, Unified Theory is going to be releasing a new album next month and it's going to be called "Cinematic."

"Hmm," says I to myself. "Hmm, cinematic music? Like John Williams?" I know exactly what they mean by calling the music "cinematic," but I don't think there are any words to describe it.

Mostly I think it's because film is the most popular art form in our modern day, so when something speaks to true emotion we think of the other thing that's good at doing that: cinema.

So maybe they should call the story "Emotion and Humanly Relevant Story Telling." I think that's more like what they really mean.
