Excellent point, Victor. I was going to elaborate on this myself(What makes film a classic), but had to literally run to work. Anyway, time will tell. For sure, Eyes Wide Shut will be watched in 30 yrs, whereas Lola won't be(again, an assumption I can't back, but we'll see. I have time).
About Rothko - read this "It is a widely accepted notion among painters that it does not matter what one paints as long as it is well painted. This is the essence of academicism. There is no such thing as good painting about nothing."
What do you think about this quote? It belongs to Rothko, a man who painted lines, squares, floating rectangles, etc. A formalistic view from informal artist.
Oh, my opinion of him - I think he's great! What do you think? I also think that his works have to be viewed in situ, as opposed to book illustration, which, no matter how good in qaulity it is, always takes away from the original. This can be stated about most visual art, yet Rothkos are cool when viewed from different angles. I suggest you buy one(Rothko, not an angle)If that's out of the question, ask Daryl R to snap a photo and paint one in his garage. Should come out great! You and your guests will have a hard time telling which is which.
