new wave cinema
One would have to be blind not to notice the sudden explosion of psycho-cinema that attempts to challenge our ordinary acceptance of the rational world with mind-twists that leave us scurrying for philosophic answers at the end. I'm no cinema buff or critic. As a matter of fact I'm lucky if I watch a single move a week. I will admit however, ever since watching mentally stimulating thrillers such as the matrix and vanilla sky, I've been hooked. But now, I'm uncertain where this wave will end? Following serveral successful films, the pscycho-cinema drama is now apparently mainstream with Ben Affleck and Matt Damon having there memories wiped way too many times, just in hopes of bringing in more blockbuster movie. I supposed every genre has freshness date, before we have to retire it for another ten or twenty years.
