That scene.Let me backtrack for a second. But her delivery, and when and where they come out, they just devastate me. The 'I'm not proud of us anymore' and 'You're a good dad'.

Both of which were entirely improvised, by the way. And then she has those two lines that absolutely take my breath away. Jess Weixler barely says anything in that entire scene. As said, I admire to that.Īnd as for being 'low educated man', all I can say is that I would like to have more of those like you.High or low education shouldn't be a problem for a right person, right? Stay in the coolest mood possible Ari.Joshua Leonard: Aw, thanks man. And I think it has, but you are just too passionate to defend him. Reading good old Arthur should made that clear to you. Philosophy is just not some black and white thing where exists some 'whole premise'. But you never throw away the whole thing. Which can sometimes work for Schopenhauer. Although I would agree with you that everything isn't just great with Hegel's thought. And you don't know much about Hegel, so let's not go there. No, there's no 'the whole premise' of anyone's philosophy. Of course, you have to watch what you say about the philosophy, in general and when talking about some individual philosophical author. Yeah, Ari, Arthur is worthy of mention, very much so, but he's just not the only one. As for me, I never stayed with a single philosopher, but with many of them, and that works all the time, and provides a lot of deep thinking and life worth contribution to the history of culture, thought, politics and what not. You must understand, that doesn't work for everyone. And besides, I think you know that, you just like to be a bit overprotective when someone mentions Arthur. Of course, there are also many of shameful ones among them. Whether within academia or outside of it. In fact, it depends on what kind of people are doing philosophy. Many of them put a lot of effort to present serious questions of life to many. And why are you being so hard to people working as teachers or professors of philosophy? That's also one-sided. Of course, there are other interesting thinkers, you just don't know much or enough about them (someone just might mention one of his closest students, Friedrich Nietzsche, and not only him). But, let't not go into black and white perspective. Monument will open Flesh and Blood in select theaters later this fall.Īs I said Ari, I won't question your passion about Arthur since there's much value in that. This first premiered at the SXSW Film Festival earlier this year. In the end there is only one question: Will Mark's life remain defined by his own Flesh and Blood? Flesh and Blood is both written and directed by actor/filmmaker Mark Webber, director of the films Explicit Ills, The End of Love, and The Ever After previously. The film leads up to a pivotal scene wherein Mark the character & consequently the real-life Mark confronts a central figure from his past in hopes of finding the answers to a childhood mired in pain & an adulthood beset with addiction. The central character, Mark, is played by director/actor Mark Webber & draws from elements of Mark's actual life.

Reality belies fiction & vice versa as the characters in the film are played by their real-life counterparts. Here's the first official trailer (+ poster) for Mark Webber's Flesh and Blood, direct from YouTube:īased on real life events & captured in a hyperrealistic style, Flesh and Blood unapologetically straddles the line between narrative & documentary to lay bare the beautifully flawed nature of life. This looks fascinating, emotional, and completely authentic. Her activism and her choices in men are a constant source of conflict in her relationships with her children. The title of the film is a reference to his decision to confront a person from his past, raising the question: 'Will Mark's life remain defined by his own flesh and blood?' In addition to Webber, the cast includes Guillermo Santos, Mark's younger brother who struggles with Asperger's Syndrome in real life, Big G played by Guillermo's actual father, and Cheri played by Cheri Honkala, Mark's real-life mother, anti-poverty activist, and the Green Party's nominee for vice-president in the 2012 US presidential election. Webber tells a very personal story, blurring the line between narrative and documentary, involving his own actual, real-life family. 'You know how hard it is for him to try to find work out here with his record now…' Monument Releasing has unveiled a trailer for the new film both written and directed by acclaimed indie actor/filmmaker Mark Webber, titled Flesh and Blood.
