------I Think This Film Is Pretty In A Generic Way. Some Of The Best Dialogue Came Through Without Any

------“I think this film is pretty in a generic way. Some of the best dialogue came through without any words, and that felt really classic to me.”

Sexagesimal, also known as base 60,[1] is a numeral system with sixty as its base. It originated with the ancient Sumerians in the 3rd millennium BC, was passed down to the ancient Babylonians, and is still used—in a modified form—for measuring time, angles, and geographic coordinates.

The number 60, a superior highly composite number, has twelve factors, namely 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 12, 15, 20, 30, and 60, of which 2, 3, and 5 are prime numbers. With so many factors, many fractions involving sexagesimal numbers are simplified. For example, one hour can be divided evenly into sections of 30 minutes, 20 minutes, 15 minutes, 12 minutes, 10 minutes, 6 minutes, 5 minutes, 4 minutes, 3 minutes, 2 minutes, and 1 minute. 60 is the smallest number that is divisible by every number from 1 to 6; that is, it is the lowest common multiple of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6.

In this article, all sexagesimal digits are represented as decimal numbers, except where otherwise noted. For example the largest sexagesimal digit is "59".

I just read an article on the decline of Deep Reading - it describes how our reduction in deep, non digital reading has left us less able to connect with humanity:

The digital realm may foster more reading than ever in history, but it also offers many temptations to read in a superficial and scattered manner — or even not to read at all. This increasingly endangers higher-level reading.” That’s ominous, because “higher-level reading” has been essential to civilization. It enabled the Enlightenment, democracy and an international rise in empathy for people who aren’t like us.

Metaphor is essentially an expression of an inward situation in outward and concrete terms. Broadly speaking, it can be said that, while metaphor reflects those inward events of which the poet is clearly conscious, and involves a conscious mode of thought and manipulation of words, a symbol reflects the stirring of massive intuitions inaccessibl. to reason. From a study of the imagery, therefore, may follow a discovery of the symbolism.

Without a basis of the dreadful, there is no perfect rapture. It is in part through the sorrow of life, growing out of dark events, that this basis of awe and solemn darkness slowly accumulates.

They were conscious that when the creative impulse was given a free rein, a power flowed through their poetry. This happened when they created imaginary worlds and expressed these fleeting visions in a concrete form. The only way they could make the imaginary world intelligible to the reader, and to themselves, was through the imagery. The imagery was a link between the known and the unknown; it was in fact the stairway to the stars.
