The Motion Picture Engineer
Not that I’m a luddite by any stretch of the imagination but I have to agree with Taiji Kozaki, a motion picture engineer, when he says that sometimes things today aren’t always as good as the old.
For example, in the old days, everything used to be sturdy and long-lasting. But nowadays, the same things are made out of inexpensive materials such as plastic and all the articles are being mass-produced. You can certainly buy those products cheaply and easily, but they will break in no time. Then, because things are so cheap, people’s attitude towards them would become superficial: if things break, just buy another one. Such a way of thinking is so common in our contemporary society, and I have the feeling that our emotional attachment towards things is starting to wear off.
It’s an interesting interview. Who knew there were people like this still around? (and hippies don’t count)
