Recommended: Aesthetics: Crash Course Philosophy #31: youtu.be/gDL4Zf2yEa4 PHILOSOPHY - Aristotle (The School of Life): youtu.be/csIW4W_DYX4 What happens when dirt goes into our nose? Our reaction is to immediately sneeze and often in a violent way. This reflex of the human body forces the material out in the quickest way possible. But what happens when something external enters the mind? Something like strong emotions, particularly negative ones. Let’s say, for example, the pain of losing your daughter. Often there are no automatic reflexes to cleanse the mind of these feelings because we tend to suppress them if our mind feels that they are socially inappropriate to express. These thoughts don’t lie dormant in the mind forever. They often try to come out. Taylor Sheridan’s directorial debut Wind River does an excellent job at showing us the unfolding of these emotions. Before we move on, we have to make a quick separation between two types of films. 20th-century british philosopher R.G. Collingwood drew a distinction between what he called Amusement Art and Magic Art. Amusement Art is what you see in movies like Star Wars or The Lord of the Rings, it helps the audience escape from reality and dive into a fictional world after a stressful day. Magic Art, on the other hand is the type of art in movies like No Country for Old Men or Wind River, which represent a view of this world’s reality. Be sure to subscribe to our channel.
