“As an actor and student of film I often went to the same movie multiple times to study the different elements by wearing different hats while I watched it repeatedly. As an actor, writer, director, editor, DP, etc. I wanted to know all facets of storytelling on film. I still do. I’ve watched some series 3 or more times for this very reason and movies multiple times. Repetition is useful.
I made a commitment to NEVER leave a movie. Watch it to the end. I owe that much to the filmmaker for the sweat and labor that went into making even a horrible movie. THAT SAID. I don’t keep that commitment today. There are only so many minutes in one’s life and I have decided I owe it to myself to spend them well. Sometimes the journey a filmmaker wants you to go on simply isn’t worth it.
That said, I have turned things off and then someone suggests I give it a second chance. Sometimes, I discover I’d been hasty, and the film or series is worthwhile and I enjoyed it. Then sometimes, I was correct the first time. I learned a lot from all this. Never waste a moment. Learn from mistakes. All is good even when it is not if you learn something and make use of your time.
I’ve learned all is good and life is composed of moments and decisions. Use your time well. BUT this is not just about time. It’s about how you spend it. True, I sometimes walk away but mostly it is about learning, commitment, study and excelling. It is about diving deep and extracting the most and the best. It’s about being curious enough to continue to review something or somewhere you’ve already done or gone.
Correct repetition consistently applied for long enough builds skill and habit. Walking away is easy. Staying in the game, sticking it out, extracting all the goodness is the point. You are a process. A living spirit in the process of life. You ain’t done yet. Never stop learning. Never stop loving. Never stop being grateful. Never stop celebrating. Go forward. Expect the best and enjoy all of life! ALL of it. Celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes
