1) his description of the story as a filigree or a web…I mean really elegant metaphor

2) what happened to the curtsy at formal events?

But seriously, i see why this statement resonated so much with you. I especially appreciate his elucidation of the difference between film and television. Hearing him say it instead of being uoted, his enthusiasm and fire is infectious and persuasive! Indeed, this research that we are doing is aimed at taking people on journeys, at least pointing out that their intellectual journey can progress on an alternate thought path and produce something beautiful if not traditional.

The excitement of the narration is also infectious as he describes the tightness ofthe jerseys stretched taut across the wrestlers bums, and the holds in which he was able to touch the inner thighs of his competitors. THere is no other way for the sinful delectableness of such emotions to be conveyed in teh traditional dry cut documentary style. Indeed he took us on a journey just int hose little snippets of the film, it reminded me of my yonger self and unrealized desires residing beside a sense of the actual excitement to be had were the fantasy to be made real.

So “cut it ;ike fiction”, yes, use the tools of the trade in novel ways to create something new, unexpected and enlarging.
