Kim Basinger And Vintage Wine

So here's that scene I talked about previously, and that I promised I would post here.

It's from the hot erotic movie - well, in fact, one of the most outstanding erotic movies of all time - 9 and 1/2 Weeks.

It's the scene in which Basinger's character, an art gallery manager, goes to find the artist 'Farnsworth' whose exhibition is coming up, but who has apparently gone missing just beforehand.

This movie is one of the starkest examples of just how far the difference is, between those who really know something about whatever subject they are discussing, or looking at, and those who have all the public reputation for knowing, but are simply ignorant but aggressive and vocal.

9 and 1/2 Weeks was misunderstood in its day, and largely still is, on the whole when you talk to modern people who watch it even now.

But you'll get an argument from those who believe they know the full story - same as you will if you say that no Tibetan monks from the original Lhasa temple were, or are, actually Buddhists...

The real religion of the Tibetan monks has been systematically suppressed for decades by the Communist government of China, and the modern outward presentation of Tibetan monks as Buddhist is a fabrication.

Everyone knows the story that the Dalai Llama is found by the priests of the Lamasery of the Tibetan tradition, by offering a particular young child a few toys and personal effects that belonged to some previous living chief Llama. 

This idea - after a fashion - can be seen in the scene I have posted here, in terms of an artist's, in this case, the fictional artist Farnsworth('s), approach to his subjects that he converts into his paintings.

Basinger's character tells him he has captured a moment, and he replies that he paints the transitions of understood and familiar reality, to the point of their strangeness probably in some unstated metaphysical way.

If you are a very rich person, and you have acquired the taste for great French wines like Latour or Lafite or Angelus or Haut Brion - there is no real point drinking any of them and believing you are really experiencing what is in there, unless you can come to terms with the ideas, for instance in one of our public Kindle novels: particularly, say, Chapter Eight 'Star Silk Drop' from the book 'Russian Propaganda Spy Story.'
