O rerry?
I have been watching a lot of Asian horror lately. It’s alright, but I think I am missing integral parts of the culture to really appreciate what qualifies as horrific. For example, I don’t get if the pallid children with bruised eyes and hair in their faces are something fundamentally loathsome in Asian culture or if it’s just a popular gimmick riding in on the wave of success made by the little creepy girl in The Ring (though I lean towards assuming the latter). Furthermore, I get confused by the ghosts themselves, and that, I believe, stems from a cultural difference.
I am thinking I will watch The Maid tonight. Perhaps through watching enough movies, I will become enlightened as to the answers to my questions.
(I have felt blocked in terms of writing anything personal about school/work/relationships. In part I don’t feel as though anything I am doing is important enough to document, all my plans are still formative and, given my fickle nature, prone to change at any moment, also I have felt uninspired. I am meeting with my mentor [at least the professor who I consider my mentor, though he probably doesn't know it] hopefully sometime this week, and perhaps he can help me out with figuring out school/work/things.)
