the film’s over

Those familiar with me know that I have a fascination with eyes. Those familiar with me might have also noticed that hands are a recurring theme. Eyes and hands… And feet. If you draw a line from hand to hand, and a line from eyes to feet, you get a cross. These are all the hardest things to draw, really. I’ve been trying for years. There is a film starring Martin Landau as an artist who is unable to achieve true mastery of his art because he does not capture the soul of the subject in her eyes. He does, by the end of the film, but I’m fairly certain that by then it’s too late. The film’s over, after all. Everyone’s ready to go home or go to bed.
