The world is getting smaller- so we have more choices and more information- so it becomes more difficult to know where to go and what to do. This type of education is called an aesthetic education. An aesthetic education is the ability to see things differently simply because of the information we have to see.
The internet has made it easier to see things differently, because it’s brought us information in an ever-widening array of colors. And in the same way that we have a plethora of choices available to us, one of the very first things we’ve had to learn about how to use these colors to tell a story is that we have to learn how to see things differently.
This is what we mean when we say that there are two kinds of aesthetics – one that has a lot of information and is very visual and easy to learn, and one that has a lot of information and is very visual and difficult to learn. The first one we talked about was the “blue-pizza” aesthetic; the second is the “cheeseburger-with-a-fork-in-your-mouth” aesthetic.
That’s a lot of info, but for the most part it means you need to learn how to use color and how to see things differently in order to tell a story. This is why we say there are two kinds of aesthetics.
So we are talking about a sort of visual aesthetics of information. We’re not just talking about the aesthetics of things. The aesthetic of things has to do with the way something looks or feels. It’s what makes things interesting. So it’s important to know what you are looking at and what you are looking at based on the information it contains.
What does “color” mean? Not very often in the movie. What we call it, “a color” is a way of looking at a picture (or a small area) while, at the same time, not being able to see it in the way that you would use a color to look at it.
The film “Romeo + Juliet” is a famous example. It’s based on a play the two of them read to each other in a book. Not the same thing, but I think it’s a good example of a film that has a very clear aesthetic, and its a shame that people like to take it so far from that.
It’s a good example, but it’s not the only one in the world. There are plenty of movies that are based on books which are not very clear about what they are about. In fact, the best example I know is probably the movie “Avengers,” which is based on a comic book series.
Most films are based on comics, which are works of fiction that have a very clear narrative. The difference between a comic book and a movie is that a comic book has a much easier time following the plot because it has a very clear, predictable plot than a movie because it has to rely on the talents of its writer and director to make a coherent story.
The Avengers is an example of how comic books have changed in the last few decades. Movies have evolved to a point where they can tell stories that are not so much plot-driven, but in fact are not plot-driven at all. They are more like art films. And since the audience is global, more movies and comics are being made in different languages, cultures, and time periods.
