This reminds me of this section of “Boulbil and Schönberg’s Les Misérables” by Sarah Whitfield.

That's from a video he did for TED a few years back: youtu.be/WRS9Gek4V5Q

Not that I question the need for art, but this definitely has me thinking about it differently. It’s about connection.

Yeah my definition for art is an object a person uses to communicate an idea or a feeling to another person

(This is great). It’s a a series of photo stills with Ethan Hawke’s words captioned below. Captions: - Most people don't spend a lot of time thinking about poetry, right? - They have a life to live, and they're not that concerned with Allen Ginsberg's poems or anybody's poems! 1/x

Until… Their father dies, they go to a funeral, you lose a child, somebody breaks your heart, they don't love you anymore. And all of a sudden, you're desperate for making sense out of this life. "Has anybody ever felt this bad before? How did they come out of this cloud?" 2/x

Or the inverse-something great. You meet somebody and your heart explodes! You love them so much you can't even see straight! You know, you're dizzy! "Did anybody feel like this before? What is happening to me?" And that's when art's not a luxury, it's a sustenance. You need it. 3/3

Tysm Tenar!!

the social-stoner-ist most-liberal-dad-ist of guys i luv him

Started awesome, stayed awesome

I LOVE this interview. Been watching it in bits and pieces, and he NAILS it.

I have watched this talk several times and enjoyed it quite a bit. This post made me go watch it again and for the first time it made realize with the first story that I take myself too seriously.

And this made me realize the power of art is how it can reflect a different aspect of you every time you go look for yourself in a piece of art.

Gatsby is a great example of this. The change is how you read it at 16 versus the way you read it at 30 (and beyond) is incredible.

Well said, Mr. Hawke

…. until they need it.

I mean there's also booba too, but yeah.

That's beautiful

That’s fantastic. Thanks for posting. For me, art is also: it shows me the world is more than I thought it was or could imagine it being, shows me other lives, other realities, and most of all other ways to view and understand our world.

Ethan Hawke is effing solid as always

This simply beautiful. He nailed it on the ehad.

ethan hawke really is incredible

Hmm. I don't know if a storytelling professional is being unbiased, when the use a very emotional communication techniques to tell you "storytelling is the most important thing".... 🤔

I love this!

I agree with him except I think art is never a luxury, but is always a necessity.

Awwww ❤️ This is so great thank you for sharing it

It's good to know that in times of extreme sorrow somebody might come to truly appreciate my drawing of a unicorn with a rocket launcher.

Thank you so much for sharing this, I've never seen it before!

Well this is gorgeous

So on point.

Inviting others to deeper reflection about life, via art...👍👍

This is why I wish this guy would do more Shakespeare adaptations. His Hamlet from the 90's is amazing.

Damn that hits.

I never cared for him until I saw this interview, and to be fair to him, I think I was just envious

🎯

That's my Todd Anderson 💓

i find it extremely limited. not a criticism, just an observation.

what do you find limited, art?
