Neoteny & Negritude

It is Taima's fault, for setting up the problem with the observation that all students of film (filmmakers) go through all of the stages of film history as they learn their craft. Short, silent, edited to simple narrative, then what? the problematic is in what order are the stages fed to the students (bearing in mind the rant below, effectively denying History, and in addition, what are the linear stages anyway? Where would Stan Brakhage go? Are 14 year olds obliged to watch Bergman? Will the general audience take kindly to the FACT that all mainstream cinema since 1979 (Raging Bull) has been hollow, empty and nocive?
Or (another Taima clarification) that MTV has a main effect of setting up annoying black stereotypes as icons to aim for (with guns?) thus (I quote) re-establishing the class divide in American (and World) society by peddling the image of a) blacks b) poor people and c) poor black people, as stupid, duplicitous and greedy, easily bought off with the second-hand trappings of white middle class status (cars, coats, women as ciphers, 'bling').
But try telling that to your average teenager. The hips don't lie. But there must be an awful lot of smart, disenfranchised African-Americans out there with huge, justified grudges to bear. I shall seek them out and form an alliance of the angry.
You have been warned.
