I am an aspiring young film buff slowly building up my knowledge of cinematography (with a very long way to go).
Most of the films I watch have action sequences, purely because as a young man (and an inwardly puerile one) I find these features most entertaining; when I was a little boy I grew up on a diet of westerns and war epics and the 'manly protagonist+guns+megalomaniac antagonist' formula stuck with me; I get bored sitting through a film that doesn't have a good chase or gunfight (although violence is not integral to my enjoyment by any means).
Obviously as a wannabe buff and fountain of cinema-related knowledge I have to move away from this perspective of film and branch out; how can I ween myself off of these old habits though- what would be an ideal genre to start off with to aid my gradual separation from single-mindedness? Any film recommendations would be very gratefully recieved!
Thanks
