A Simple Goal.

I've decided to document through this blog my future adventures through cinema. The reason I've called it Film Osmosis is because with time, watching movies becomes a slow process of absorption. I will share with anyone and everyone that wants to read my absorption of cinema from different countries, languages, topics and perspectives.

I've always been fond of film but it wasn't until a few years ago that they became a passion of mine. I've discovered the work of masters like Federico Fellini, Orson Welles, Andrei Tarkovsky, Akira Kurosawa and many others. I've discovered that movies aren't just about plot but also, among other things, about characters and themes and emotions. It's often the authenticity of these aspects that draw me to them.

One of the greatest aspects in having a passion for film is that no matter how much I generalize it, it will never offer a glimpse into the singular experiences one has with specific films. The excitement you feel when Roger Thornhill is dodging a cropduster in a cornfield in North By Northwest, Lawrence going back for a fallen man at the risk of dying in the Nefud Desert in Lawrence of Arabia or Guido escaping into his dreams and fantasies to avoid the realities of having no idea how to make his film in 8 1/2. These are the moments I live for in my viewing experience and hopefully with this blog I can share those moments with anybody that will read.
