The Worst Kind of Aspiring Filmmakers

I know I'm not the only person who thinks about this- and it even applies to people who have succeeded in the film industry.

I do not respect aspiring filmmakers who do not take the time to learn about film history and the great work and artists that came before them. There are so many people consumed by ideas of hollywood fame or social media relevance that they pursue a filmmaking career with no understanding behind the art of cinema. Even worse, they show no interest. People who do not understand what has been made... Where it began, what it became, have no right to make movies- A filmmaker should know their place in the grand scheme of motion picture history.

Thanks for letting me complain about that. I think it is repulsive when a person who claims a desire for making cinema does not pursue a knowledge on the subject. Just because everyone sees movies and knows what the hell they are, does not make them worthy of contributing to the medium. Mother fuckers oughta learn about the films of George Melies to Charlie Chaplin to Frank Capra Billy Wilder John Ford and that is the tiniest sliver of helming treasures- that doesn't even cover Fellini and those other bastards that force subtitles on weak-minded audiences with the attention span of someone who stopped reading this worthless post before the end of the title

TLDR KEEP THE KNOWLEDGE OF CINEMATIC HISTORY ALIVE MY FRIENDS. That's the only way we can take it into the future and keep it
