Everything Is A Remix - Watch This
10 years ago
Hey guys,
I've seen this a long time ago but I recently had it playing in the background for noise while I was drawing and I realized again how great a documentary it is.
I'd recommend any of my artist friends, be it in music, or art, to watch this. It reveals the true nature of creativity that's been buried beneath the bullshit. The myth that original ideas are well.. original, and creations by especially creative and amazing people. It shows how ideas are based initially on copying existing things and morphing them into new things. It's all very inspiring stuff and it kinda gives you a hopeful feeling that you have a chance at having one of those creative leaps, it's not reserved for extra special rare people.
Even if you don't need inspiration, it's very interesting. It points out lots of neat things you probably never even knew, about artists and songs that copied other previous songs that no one even really know about. Then moves on to famous movies and shows how much they borrow from past movies.
The last bit, part four, is the most important. It gets into that lie I told you about, and it shows how are legal system has messed up the way of creativity by making already existing creations 'property.' It talks about the glory days in the early US when the public domain was there to support the copying of existing things to create something new and how that's been ruined over time.
Seriously, watch this FUCKING documentary, you'll like it, give it 5 minutes.
