Finally enjoying art to its truest extent

I just made the greatest revelation I've had in years.  And it happened watching the tv show Barry.  Yes i will be talking majorly about this tv show but i felt it was necessary to put this into the writing category rather than the Tv one.  I made this intentional decision because i believe that this show is a work of art.  I see "Tv" and imagine the housewives of who gives a fuck and some generic reality show but every 3rd character is blind and deaf for no fucking reason. 

But this. This is art.  

Barry is a masterpiece of cinematography.  

This show is a beautiful culmination of writers eager to share their storytelling abilities and craft a realistic, creative, and immense world along with all its equally creative and complex people from the ground up.  Not only that but it is equally a culmination of talented actors who excel at their craft and bring these characters to life in a way that would have you believe that this person you are seeing on the screen could be someone who exists in our world, someone who is so raw and emotional that they cannot possibly be seen a character from a script, these are humans, people.

Barry Berkman is such a complex and tightly woven character and placed within an environment and around equally complex characters that allow us to slowly loosen these knots and reveal the beauty and truth of his character.  This is why this show excels at entrapping the audience and acquiring an occult fanbase.  

And is the reason for my revelation.

I shift gears now to examine me.  I am a character in my life and i recognize that my life has been limited by my experience with it.   I have been heavily  disconnected from my emotions for as long as i can remember, a story for another day but is something that i feel i have improved on over this last year.  This is one of the clearest accounts of improvements i have seen.  I finally feel real connection to these characters and this world i have been exposed to.  I feel sad and angry and confused and joyful through these characters.  Something i never feel when watching many other highly acclaimed shows and tv.  I'm so fucking grateful for this connection. 

Anyways this is just my story of my self exploration and how much i love the show barry. if you are reading this and have HBO or pirate everything like me, see if you can make time to watch this show.  It is beautiful and is something that could very well change your life. 

anyways until next time,
