Expressing Oneself
Expressing Oneself Introduction Directors can use a film to express ideas they have in their mind, or as a way to tell what is happening in the world or in their own life. The way to tell the difference can be by using a Personal or Political stance for the movie. Personal A personal stance in a movie, personally for me, would be that it happens in our lives and is something one can go through personally. There is not a set definition of personal in movies but when I was researching about it one sentence that stuck out to me was "It is a film which may not be that great objectively, but which holds for you a deep personal meaning: which is either enigmatically inexplicable or, is noncommunicable except in emotional connection with a time, place and person(fergalcasey)."It really sticks that a personal movie is something people can really connect to and it is something that can be a guilty pleasure. A perfect example of a Personal film would be Modern Romance
