LA will continue to grow in stature and reputation as a world class city for important art. Of the Past and the Present. It will become as big as NYC but only if a major push towards an extensive subway system will allow this to happen. Otherwise their traffic bullshit will strangle everybody as so many people move into that town. Artists and people attempting to be part of the American Dream. Hollywood. People who want to feel part of the Myth of American culture. Like modern day Gods and Goddesses. It is analogous to a religion and a religious experience. Lauren Greenfield in her photo essay Fast Forward. All the students and people wanting to be have meaning in their lives and validation of their existence by becoming famous with all its perks and illusion of immortality. Film is the illusion of immortality. As much as it is with Barthes Death.
