Metaphors and Kino-eye

I really have no idea how to use this website so I hope this post is in the right place... :)

Metaphors
I dont know if anyone else got this feeling but Metaphors on Vision seemed very negative. It mentioned things like "never going back" and "loss of innocents", as if we will never see the true world and all it's color and beauty because of our eyes. Though it was mostly good and interesting info and truths, it was a little over dramatic and categorized artists too loosly (into one big pile of trying to "reach" god) . Its ideas and metaphors were at times spot-on and then near the end it seemed to lighten up and lift our hopes. It said we (this generation ) have new medias and topics to work with, as well as the old themes.

Kino-eye
I dont know what is wrong here but Kino-eye seemed to be also very negative! It was telling us what has been over done then flat-out saying these things are unnecessary and should "never needed or should ever be on screen. Things have been done, i understand but to say we should never again use cinema to show any of these topics again feels like a little much. it read as if i was listening to the teachings of a cult. Again this writing had some great ideas and wonderful thoughts but felt a little intense.

I hope I understood this reading, though somehow I doubt it...
