Music
I grew up listening to whatever my family put on. My father always played the "KFOG" alternative radio station when I was growing up, so that sort of rock has always been at the forefront of my taste. MODEST MOUSE was the first band I got into and I still jam out to them to this day. The Strokes is also a secondary fall back for me too. I've now blossomed into my own taste. I love all sorts of music. Classical, rap, punk, rock, jazz. There's so much to enjoy!!!
Movies
Top movies: Blade runner 2049 Taxi Driver There Will Be Blood Shin Godzilla It's a weird collective of movies but they're all so good. Blade Runner 2049 is special to me because it talks about how we self-important and contrived people are actually less important in the general scheme of things than we realize, and that is totally OK to accept. Taxi Driver for me is a historical film. It captures the mood of post-vietnam war America and the mindset that was faced before the emasculated traditionalist male American in a society that has both shunned the classic patriarch and moved on. There Will be Blood is another historical movie about an oil baron who tries to ruin a town- only to be faced against a business rival who tries to usurp his control over the city through religious influence. Shin Godzilla is a political thriller that preys on the fears of the modern Japanese adult- the fear of natural disaster; the condemnation of an incompetent government; the contempt for foreign influence in their country.
Television
idk i dont watch television. Too long for me. I do like anime tho but I don't watch a ton.
About me: Hello! It's me, Joshua. At the time of writing this, I am 21 years old and am currently studying to become a historian and an educator. Life's all about experiencing things before our short time is up- and what better way to experience things than by listening to music and watching movies! Music is a sensory experience which presents emotions in such a way that an artist can share his or her feelings with their listeners. Likewise- movies are all about worldbuilding and story telling. Both of these mediums are exquisite forms of sharing a creator's feelings and stories. How couldn't you love that.
