Solution
All this time I have been doing just that; reporting on what the problem is. I havent spent much time researching or developing my argument on what we need to do. Solutions to the problem
I think we need to get back to the essence” These auteurs were all on drugs and successful and went out of their minds.” Quote from documentary. Black Panthers fell apart because got // the Party crumbled internally lost its ideals the counterculture movement became cool and when posing took over work stopped getting done // the essence’  is // the solution is to respond by living, harder than previously // to make more films // to travel to affect change in some form // to start the Greenpeace or whatver .org you think is needed // organize the work that you originally felt inspired to do // I believe the problem is that we’re all staying in the theatre too long // we ought to run out as soon as we have it // instead of waiting for the popcorn and milk duds to settle in our stomach // even the theatres take on this passive theme by making them look like hotels // in the movies, after kids got out of the movies or couple they would then continue their evening  walking around town // the locations of theatres prove the lack of response expected from preempted by the owners // they are no longer built in areas that require any walking. You get back in your car and drive away. Theatres in the past before LOEWS & Carmike’s monopoly were traditionally in the heart of the city. The phrase was “we’re going into to town to catch a show” Now the phrase has to be changed to “we’re going out to the ‘X’ shopping center to go to LOEWS”  or // the drive-in which was more interactive. There were opportunities to get into fights in the concession line or meet a girl on the way to the bathroom. Nowadays theatres have security guards and cameras pointed at you as soon as you enter the parking lot. I’m not saying that theatres are the main cause of the lack of response amongst audiences, I’m highlighting that even the environment in which you are introduced to them has become overtly restrictive.  Many films are watched for the first time on bootleg DVD copies, which add …, although
We need not to re-watch it or analyze it more but get out and live and by doing so will understand the messages of the films more deeply during the time of the experience
