I found this to be a very fascinating piece that takes film and applies it to real life. I especially enjoyed the comment about how filmmakers are concerned that modern news media is stifling our short term memory (the "Memento" reference). I also enjoyed how filmmakers' manipulation of time was tied to our perception of having more than one time line occurring when we have multiple windows open on our computers.
You see, I have this condition...not amnesia...but...let me remember what I liked about this piece...Lola was running to save...Hitchcock said something about movies being life with the boring...oh yes, I remember...I was trying to remember how I was intrigued by the title of this piece, being a movie buff and all, and the way it blends music and sound clips into a tiny capsule and...dang...what was it that Hitchcock said about movies being...I know I heard it somewhere...why don't I remember it?...wait...what do I have written here..."Listen to Jonathan's piece "Time in Film"...hmm...maybe I should tell my friends about this piece before I listen to it... Wait, what is this website?
First of all, in all of Jonathan Mitchell's pieces, the music is expertly done and chosen so they're going to sound excellent on the air of any station that uses music to strive for professional elegance. Plus the sound matches it.
Plus I particularly like this piece because it really makes the listener think about how media (here, film) affects everybody's perception of time - it's an astonishing, present day truth that's has been so gradual that perhaps we don't think about it enough - or at all.
This piece is from Studio 360 - I think about how - because of prx - it could be a nifty little piece of luck for stations be able to cherrypick these top-notch, cultural pieces (that are so respectful of the listener's intelligence) after the fact of the program - and even when the station does not subscribe to Studio 360.
