In reference to the issue of time and the artists use of altering the norms of storytelling through elongated scenes I like the quote below.
“Used to our culture of light-speed pace and miniscule attention spans, multi-tasked distraction and attention-deficit disorders, one discovers an oasis of clarity in the darkened environment where Dean’s film plays.”
It is no secret that today, instant gratification is a real thing. Insta-gram, instant replay, instant coffee are all examples that we crave speed. The funny thing about it is that when art is presented we are all somehow programmed to relax in it’s slowness. Art is the medium that people take time into no consideration so it’s no shock that these artists are successful. It is a reflection on society that we are adapting to the process of time when reflecting. Seeing as reflection in thought process is a careful and long thought out process.
