Thresholds of Violence in The Searchers (1956)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sKVu7q64BQU

After re-watching The Searchers (1956) for episode 43 of the Family Pictures Podcast, I was struck by the way director [[John Ford]] constantly uses thresholds or portals to visualize the moral structure of the film. It isn’t so much about the chase, the raids, or even the racism that drives the narrative—it’s this idea of space. Doorways, […]

Jerry Seinfeld says the ‘extreme left’ has ruined sitcoms with ‘PC crap’ by #Today https://www.today.com/popculture/news/jerry-seinfeld-comedy-pc-culture-rcna150140
#ArticleSummary: "Jerry Seinfeld reflected on the influence of "the extreme left" on TV comedy in a recent interview, citing examples from his own show "Seinfeld" that may not be accepted in today's cancel culture. He expressed concern about the lack of comfort sitcoms like those from past decades and noted that stand-up comics are now the source for edgier comedy. Seinfeld praised younger comedians for pushing boundaries and discussed the challenges faced by networks like HBO in producing comedic content. Despite these concerns, Seinfeld continues to perform stand-up and recently made his directorial debut with the film "Unfrosted," which premieres on #Netflix #Movie."

Jerry Seinfeld above says how wokeism is 'hurting TV' during release of 'Unfrosted', but I would like to extrapolate that its hurting not just comedy, but every type of genre in entertainment be it tv, movies, music, books, or social media. Hi Sir #JerrySeinfeld, all the best for your new release 'Unfrosted', I am excited to watch it soon. Thank you so much for your continued great work. Best regards.

On similar lines, aesthetic value of beauty in nature holds a profound significance, contributing to various aspects of human experience. Now as humans are part of nature, albeit an overpopulating overpolluting part of nature, still humans are part of nature, and just as we appreciate beauty in nature, appreciating beauty in humans is infact a part of appreciating beauty in nature. As Shakespeare nicely explains it in 'Hamlet', "What a piece of worke is a man! How Noble in reason! How infinite in faculty! In forme and mouing how expresse and admirable! In Action, how like an Angel in apprehension, how like a God! The beauty of the world, the paragon of animals....('man' here means both man and woman, as Hamlet clarifies in end by saying 'man..nor woman').."
Beauty aesthetic value plays a crucial role in movies, TV, and sports, contributing significantly beyond just hardwork and talent, infact beauty is part of the talent that requires hardwork to mainatin. Here's how the aesthetic value of beauty impacts these visual industries. Let me explain:
1) Visual Appeal and Immersion: In movies, TV shows, fashion and sports beauty aesthetics enhance the visual appeal and immersive experience for the audience. The intricate makeup techniques, costumes, and set designs contribute to creating vibrant and captivating visuals, enriching the overall storytelling. Example: #WilliamShatner is better for #StarTrek than #SonequaMartinGreen.

2) Character Portrayal and Narrative Enrichment: The aesthetic choices in portraying characters through makeup, costumes, and hairstyles add depth and authenticity to the narrative. These visual elements help create believable characters and enrich the storytelling experience for the viewers. Example: #JonStewart is a better for #DailyShow Comedy Central, than #TrevorNoah.

3) Influence on Viewer Engagement: Beauty aesthetics not only capture attention but also influence viewer engagement. The aesthetic beauty in sports, for example, can enhance the excitement and emotional connection of the spectators with the performance or event. Example: #SteffiGraf and #RogerFederer better for tennis, than #SerenaWilliams and #RafaelNadal.

4) Fashion and Style Inspiration: The beauty aesthetic in movies, TV, and sports often serves as a source of fashion and style inspiration. Iconic looks and trends set on screen can influence real-world fashion and beauty trends, demonstrating the interconnectedness between visual media and the fashion industry. Example: #IvankaTrump is better for fashion in saree than #me #ShradhaMukherjee #Shredder #smukher2 in saree.

5) Cultural Significance and Trends: The portrayal of beauty aesthetics in visual media reflects cultural norms, historical contexts, and societal trends. Example: #JeffreyHunter and #MaxVonSydow better for portraying #JesusChrist than #JonathanRoumie.
