For more visit: http://plectropicksfilm.wordpress.com/1970s/ Last update: 30/03/2014 We’re not there yet. We’re virgins. We’re still courting our collective perfection. Meanwhile we’re producing more and more realistic and meaningful works. Films touch our hearts and minds via sound and vision and soon, surely, with taste and our very fingertips. While they are still just an analogy of the reality we dream, often they replace much worse fantasies we may conjure. In Plato’s Republic the artists would not be allowed entry. Until we get there, the artists paint the Republic we await. I work on this list since about when I was born. Films have inspired me profoundly and have been an important part of my upbringing. The world changes very fast and we find new ways of telling stories, but the stories are the same, so the better the medium, the better we convey education through story-telling. -Eron Falbo
