Was doing my english essays, but I kinda gave up due to its complexity. However, whilst doing all these analytical work, a voice sang into my head guided to look at something which i believe is missing in the modern society. Each artwork, literature piece, music piece, blah blah has its own movement. Just naming a few:
-1984 is a product of the postmodernist movement- people saw the futility in life where struggles are pointless in preventing another war which explains his conclusion to Winston's defeat in "He loved Big Brother"
-Metropolis is a product of German Expressionism whose purpose is to reflect on Fritz Lang's personal concerns about his life.
-Perfume, a beautiful crime fiction, is a text that resulted in a new genre Crime Fiction

Back to the point, what is the movement of today? There isn't really one.
Why?
Because today, education teaches us critical thinking, which is only useful in revising the past and steal good aspects of the past. Critical thinking is the assessment of what is good and the adaption of every goodness, and mold it into the current society. Now, this may seem ironic, education teaches to think individually, but at the very same time what we learn is for the construction of a perfect society, aspiring in an utopia where everyone is the same. As a result, we lack creativity. Modern art are not creative, but it is more of a cauldron of every other movement in the world.
What I want to say is SOMEONE ARISE FROM THE DEBRIS OF MODERNITY AND SHOW US SOMETHING NEW.
Laters, Im going back to essay writing.
