Re: A Knight's Tale & Mulan

[gethenian]

I agree -- I like that concept, and I do believe that in that sense it is accurate. PSYCHOLOGICALLY accurate. People back then were not different than us in any significant way. Their rock music just sounded like weird harpsichord shit, but the reaction and interaction and inspiration was the same.

Yeah.

I mean, I don't think it's PRECISELY accurate because rock music is tied up with a lot of modern concepts of popular culture and adolescence and change and progress. But I still think it's a good reminder that these were people, living breathing people, not aliens or storybook cutouts. It a little more life, I think. It's cool.

I think there have always been movements tied to those same concepts in the arts throughout human history, all over the world. I can't name them... for the most part, I don't think ANYONE can, since so much of every culture's history of folklore and music has always been passed on without any sort of written record, and few cultures have ever had any concept of intentional preservation of crafts or artwork until relatively recently. We can see through recordings of the past 100 years or so that every generation seems to come up with movements in the arts that reflect attitudes of change and progress and rebellion and the next generation carving out their own identities... but it's literally impossible to show how far back that pattern goes, or which cultures have shown a greater or lesser tendency towards that kind of expression in their music or language or fashion styles...

It's my theory that if we COULD find records, if anyone really purposefully looked for that evidence, we would find it. Because the differences between people today and people 10,000 years ago are all superficial. We have more technology, better nutrition, better medicine, we structu`re our l`ives differently, but what we want, how we love, he way we express friendship, the way we feel loss and lust and grief and anger, the way we grow, the way we bond, the way we fight, the way we are always pushing to find and make and express something bigger, something louder, something that belongs to us in a way hat is uniquely ours and not taught or trained into us by our parents... that has NEVER changed. Take a homo sapien from any time period since the first one of us walked the earth, teach them how our culture expects them to behave, teach them to read and write, and they will be indistinguishable from any of us.

And if they were in, oh, their mid 20's or early 30's, given enough time to be exposed to this century's media, they'd probably instinctively understand the roots of those changes in how we express ourselves, and I bet they'd really like them some Guns n' Roses. ;)
