What is the role of the artist when it comes to making the world better?
I would hate to use the word "role" because it implies and obligation and I am not sure that art works well when saddled with obligations. Artists work best when unfettered with societal conventions. However, I do believe that artists of all shapes and sizes do make the world a better place by expanding our personal, societal and world perspectives and visions. French philosopher and social critic, Marcel Proust, once wrote that "the real voyage of self-discovery consists not in seeing new landscapes, but in having new eyes." Artists are the new eyes of the world that allow us to see entirely new landscapes and possibilities. Too many humans behave as a universe of one instead of a world of interconnected people who do best when they meld their collective strengths and perspectives to create new outlooks. Artists remind us to see the world outside of ourselves. This is extremely valuable in a world filled with people trying to confine people's personal and world visions. Artists also remind us to create and creating is a fundamental human need. Too many humans are living passive lives through which they watch the world go by. Artists say, "get up, stand up, create your world!" One needs to be reminded of this message every single day.
Why do most people have a habit of blaming actors for bad movies?
I noticed when ever a movie's bad, the actor/actress is always blame! "So and So can't act!" "He needs to take more acting lessons!". A example would be like Jessica Alba's new movie "The Eye". Perez Hilton and many critics negatively on her. Jessica Alba is a great actress, in Dark Angel and Sin City ASIDE FROM HER PERSONAL LIFE! My question is Why do people put the blame on the her? She DIDN'T write the movie, she is just acting out what she's supposed to do in the scenes. After all, the actor DOES ONLY WHAT THE WRITER AND DIRECTOR SAY. I have seen this with Eva Longoria's "over her dead boy", and "meet the Spartans".They SHOULD be blaming the WRITERS for writing craptastic story lines. It seems like they directors have most the strings
I took some pictures on expired Seattle filmworks film how will the pictures turn out? I also took the film to Walgreens to be developed.?
I read online that regular labs can't develop that type of film. I looked up this info right after I dropped off the film Will it mess up walgreens' photo lab? The people at Walgreens just keep telling me it's just taking a while but should be ready by tomorrow. I'm just really anxious this is my first time using expired film. I also used a canon ae 1 program the film was 400 and I used an Asa at 100. The film expired in 98. I'm not really that worried about how they'll turn out I just took some random stuff. I'm worried about the film messing up Walgreens' photo processor.
