So we don't need a warning when they do. What's not to understand?
- pmiller2 6y agoSometimes those things are unpleasant. Sometimes those unpleasant things are not necessary to enjoy the production. Again, what's not to understand?
- buckminster 6y agoSo you need a warning whenever art makes you feel something other than enjoyment. Now I understand.
- pmiller2 6y agoI don’t think you do, given how I’ve broken it down to below ELI5 levels, and you’re still snarking at me, but, ok. Additionally, you are quite wrong. I distinctly recall the first time I was ever literally moved to tears by music, and it was precisely when the choir sang their first note in A Survivor from Warsaw, op 46 by Arnold Schoenberg: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-TbFVYbDuVg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-TbFVYbDuVg Since then, I have been touched by sadness, beauty, anger, awe, and many other emotions as a result of experiencing art.
