Modern culture has taught us to believe we're all in a film. And not a very good film. It's a big blockbuster with heroes and villains. Where every problem has a clear-cut resolution and every dog has his day. Swelling strings at the sad bits and a smug joke punctuating the funny bits.
Meanwhile life—real-life—remains as complicated and subtle and difficult to navigate as ever.
And as culture becomes ever more simplistic, and less able to reflect the absurdities of this world, we yearn for an art that expresses the true complexities of our experience.
I like it. It reads like Rob Brydon's small man in a box. It suggests that the writer is ashamed of making himself too visible, almost like writing in a bright yellow font.
