olivier gondry talk

olivier gondry, brother of michel gondry, gave a talk today at ucla. very interesting. he said something that really stuck with me. he said as a child, you can watch a movie about a story over and over and over again. but as an adult, you can't do it, you watch it once and you are done. the second time, it's not the same. but moods can be repeated indefinitely. everyone wants to feel the same thing over and over again. the piece becomes interesting because of this. this is so true.
