Quote by Aristotle

Consider pleasures as they depart, not as they come.

Consider pleasures as they depart, not as they come.

Summary

This quote suggests that one should evaluate and appreciate the value of pleasures or positive experiences after they have ended, rather than solely focusing on their anticipation or enjoyment in the moment. It encourages reflection and a deeper understanding of the true impact and significance of these experiences. By looking at pleasures from a retrospective point of view, one can gain a greater sense of gratitude, perspective, and wisdom, as the passing of time often unveils hidden lessons and insights that may not have been immediately apparent.

Film is the manipulative medium par excellence. When you think back on the history of film and the 20th century, you see the propaganda that's been made. So there are moral demands on the director to treat the spectators as seriously as he or she takes himself and not to see them merely as victims that can be manipulated to whatever ends they have.
