eGad: If you liked The Recognitions then go see

[Mark Kohut]

So, here's one "recognition' [if I'm right] that bubbles up a day after viewing this movie.
 
A major theme of Certified Copy may be expressed this way--with direct parallels [if I'm right]
to The Recogintions. All the words, intellection [of the book the guy wrote]; of the arguments between the two, rationalizations 
might be, as so much of The Recognitions' talk is and characters are, just bullshit belief sytems
to keep us from being simply human. Human in a simple(r) way..................

Certified Copy. I just did. (I think it was brought up here during
our read).
 
I have seen a few of Abbas Kiarostrami's movies, wrote about one (still unpublished), am engaged 
with subtleties and IDEAS as with few........ I do think he is a filmmaker who reads deeply and
alludes and works stuff into his films like Shakespeare, Pynchon, others (including filmmakers like Kurosawa and others I
can't think of) do....I think he had an aspect of The Plague and a couple three obvious allusions to Waiting for Godot
in the one I most liked....
 
And I think he has to know and be playing with The Recognitions in the most interesting ways in this movie, which
is structured around a writer who has written a book elevating art copies to equality with the originals, YET doesn't 
seem to much like art, to say the least........
 
Maybe more....
