I just watched a movie Inland Empire, and it got me thinking about an old topic I have thought about for a long time.
When a Director/Artist makes something do they have to know what it means?
I do art as a subject I'm my Russian super child school, and i make things and people say "thats good" or "thats interesting", but this is usually followed by "what does it mean?". I don't know what it means. Am I supposed to know what it means?
Do good artist's just do, without thinking about what it means?
Or are they supposed to ponder what themes they will place into thier art?
For example i wrote a story and it was just my brain drooling onto a page, any sorts of deep thought's where not running through my brain. If it were an amazing story would somebody try to analyse it, and possibly come up with more meaning to the story then i thought there could be?
