Read "Ordinary Film" by Michael S. Roth. Talks about Peter Forgacs's film "The Maelstrom".
Page 63, talks about the banal. "The neighbor is oblivious of the boredom he causes (by his home movies) ... he is looking at himself".
Page 65, "real thinking about the ordinary is problematic because of the particularity.
Page 66, "as soon as the home movie is taken out of the environment, it has the capacity to become either senseless or unheimlich (uncanny)"
Page 67, "Understanding and knowledge demand that you move away from intimacy of your relation with any object or event. Understanding may promise a richer experience in the end, but there is a risk in the movement -toward-distance that knowledge entails."
Page 70, "Nostodisiac, a stimulant of nostalgia"
