Music Banter - That feeling when...

I don’t have anything against film but in general it’s been my experience that reading philosophy pays bigger intellectual dividends. What I’ve read of Foucault (nods to elph for emphasizing his importance on here) has colored my world view more than any film I can think of. His **** on how western cultures control the masses put things into intense focus for me.

Still, I’ve been watching Netflix everyday to unwind after work before I start reading recently. Watched City of God yesterday. Cool ****ing movie.

It's almost like I was being facetious in response to an anti-intellectual stance on art or something.

I thought it was the obvious joke. I'm not being snarky.

If you have to ask, the answer is no. Also what clique

Not sure I'm in, since I find Foucault to be tedious.
He's probably great if you're interested in something like this but I couldn't even finish Discipline And Punish.

What film would inform my world view as much as Discipline and Punish
