A Major Motion Picture

This is kind of a goofy piece which is all about irony. It's about a number of films that were influential to me, and most of them to others as well, represented by their release dates.

The title itself is a lie. This piece is not a major motion picture, it's a painting. It's a static image. The dates themselves are not directly motion pictures, but merely the date they were released in the US. The date could really be connected to anything, and only through the title are they, possibly, realized as release dates for films. Furthermore, almost none of these films were really MAJOR. Sure, they are famous now, but when released, many of these went under the radar, were "indie" movies, or some, even labeled full-on box-office flops....

I guess the main idea behind the piece, and the "date" pieces from recently, is an alternative history of the world through my eyes. The things that stuck out to me...the things that changed how the world looked for me....so, they are entirely personal, and really universally encompassing. It's a snapshot of what has influenced me, thus a window to viewing a different concept of the world...
