Nietzsche Rants About Sweeny Todd

Sweeny Todd in my opinion lacked some Apollonian structure. With more of it incorporated it could have been an "ideal" movie. The movie consisted a lot of Dionysian concepts such as imagination, frenzy, faith, ritual, and mild passion. Even though these are important it still needed more Apollonian. Sure it had some order in it, but where's the analysis? Or the whole reason behind the film itself? That is what makes and breaks a movie.

Plato Critiques The Wave

Hokusai's The Wave is a very odd piece of "art." Not only does it not even look realistic, but it just looks wrong all together. It puts shame to the Ideal Wave. The Ideal Wave does not have writing next to it and certainly the Ideal volcano/mountain is a lot more impressive than that. I can honestly say that people especially do not look like that either. Not only does this not even come close to the Ideal concept, but it can also be dangerous towards society. It could evoke fear by showing people how powerful nature can be.

Life of Pi's Idiocy

I, Aristotle, just having finished Yann Martel's novel Life of Pi, think that it is one of the worst novels I've ever read. There is no way that a tiger and a man can live on a boat for months together. That is simply impossible. A tiger would sense that the man is food, and would eat him. What an absurd story. Also, the chapters where Pi is living with these magical plants is completely preposterous. Plants and islands can not be carnivorous. I like scientific novels. Hard facts. This fantasy "piece of literature" is just terrible.

Nietzsche Viewing Michelangelo's David

This is a beautiful example of what every artist should strive to create. It shows the true beauty of man and man alone--the way it should be. Man reflects the beauty he has inside himself onto the outside world... onto nature. This gives everyone the notion that nature is what is beautiful. The truth of the matter is that man is the true source of beauty in the universe. This beautiful sculpture shows the human form and it is not cluttered up with images of nature. This statue showcases man's true beauty all by itself. If more artists created art like this, without the distraction of any other imagery but man alone, maybe we would all come  to realize the truth about beauty.

All The Mornings of Ficino's World

The film, All The Mornings of the World portrays the very essence of love. The husband devoted to his viol, played godly music that brought tears to my eyes. The Tune of Sorrows played on the viol is the definition of triple love. His soul brought back his wife from the dead only for as long as he played the song. The wife was purely beautiful and he was entranced by his love for her. The Tune of Sorrows enters through the ear and touches the soul in a way II have never been touched. All The Mornings of the World is the best example of triple beauty ever to exist.

Moulin Rouge Suffers Excessively for Nietzche

The film entitled Moulin Rouge is purely devoted to suffering. I see the male lead as a weak individual. He believes he suffers alone in his tragedies of losing the one he loves. He is wrong and must understand that to strive in society. Everyone suffers and everyone has pain. The key to not letting this pain consume you is to merely look into all the hearts of men and you will find a dark chaos. Rejoice in this chaos and simply grow beyond your suffering. Dwelling on the suffering and loss will only bring more of which you are experiencing.

A Less Starry Night for Plato

Starry Night is a renowned piece of art work. In my opinion, it just portrays a lesser version of the true Starry Night. In the belief that all art is a mere copy of an ideal and perfect starry night in which only exists outside of our human realm, I deem this painting pathetic. The actual atmosphere of night invokes a peaceful feeling. This painting is the third copy of an ideal night. Perhaps, if this artist knew of the ideal piece of art only located in another realm, then he would focus his attentions on something he could improve in the world. This artist should have pursued a more respectable profession, such as politics or teaching and not painting lesser copies of an ideal night.
