movie reviews

I've been thinking about a different approach to writing reviews of movies - write about they way they make you think and feel and be, the way they drive your walk, the way they shape your own imagination, not about their narrative, not about the way that it succeeds or fails in meeting expectations, not about how good the technical achievements of it are, not about the way it lines up with your prejudice, or even your ideals, not about the way it reinforces policy, or even the philosophy that you prefer - but the inspiration it produces for you, how it is a generative thing - The occasion of some other thing ...that’s when it does get interesting to speak or write ...not “about” it, but “from” it in a manner of speaking ...in a manner of speaking saying writing and etc. ...on the occasion of this movie , I feel inspired or compelled or driven in whatever way to say the following ...but that preamble can stay silent or inferred perhaps only by the title of the iteration piece of writing dialogue or speech or whatever you might call it after all.
