LOS ANGELES: The Clock is returning for the first time in over a decade. Experience a 24-hour journey through movies, TV, and time in this piece for @brightwalldarkroom.com www.brightwalldarkroom.com/2025/02/27/2...

2 or 3 Questions About The Clock
by B.C. Wallin

There is no climax. There is no ending or beginning. The Clock runs in a 24-hour loop and any time could just as easily be when you come in or leave. More than stories, it presents moments, tones, emotions, and states of being. There is something freeing when you accept that there is no larger narrative to worry about—I don’t think it’s possible to sit through The Clock and truly wonder ‘Where is the director going with this?’ Watch for long enough and you’ll travel back in time to when the clock in Laura was unshattered, back to the first leg of the trip in Planes, Trains & Automobiles (1987). Stars age and grow young again and life goes on. And then begins again.

As I often do with the movies I love more than anything in the world, I turned to @brightwalldarkroom.com to tell you about it

And their art proves itself in the final sequence, a race to beat all races you’ve ever seen at the movies. You know Speed’s going to win. From the moment Spritle stands up in awe and proclaims “He’s gonna do it,” you know he’s right. As he weaves in and out of cars, Speed experiences his entire life: his childhood dreams, his lectures, his disappointments. Speed suddenly feels the weight of everything that has brought him to this point, reads the first draft of the screenplay. He sees images and hears voices, flashing through his head, as though at his own death. You know he has to win. And he swirls the track into paint, he tears reality into streaks of light, he spins the finish line into a kaleidoscope of red and white squares, creating something aweing, terrifying, beautiful, ineffable. Throughout the sequence, every move, every cut, every shout of the crowd becomes an abstraction of emotion, takes you to a thrilling place you’ve never been—and it is so, so devastatingly effective because of everything that’s happened until now, everything that’s mattered so, so much.

Sarah Jae is one of several talented writers on the project helping break down a single film, one perspective at a time. By focusing just on performance, we have the opportunity to understand and appreciate the film on a whole new level

As Jobs, Michael Fassbender is always playing high status, and he is, most of the time, raising self to lower scene partner. Like a king. Mere mortals are the ones who oscillate between presumed authority and supplication, changing the way they interact with people to suit what they need to get out of conversations. As genius creator-god, Jobs never stoops, never spooks, and never allows his colleagues, friends, or family to believe he even has a low status mode.

"Steve Jobs is not a genius creator-god; for most of the movie, he can’t even admit to having created his own daughter, because looking an imperfect human invention in the face is significantly harder than putting her name on a product.”

Skeptical about Steve Jobs? So is @aeneas-nin.bsky.social! Read Alexander B. Joy in STEVE JOBS MONOGRAPH to see how the editing of Steve Jobs (2015) betrays the Great Man narrative at the core of the Apple genius story, coming soon.

"The Silicon Valley myth surrounding the real-life Steve Jobs is that he was a magician, creating inimitable product styles and loyal customer bases where none existed before. But a magician is one who works magic, and the first act’s genre framing argues that the protagonist of Steve Jobs is no such person. He’s an illusionist at best, a weaver of mirages who amounts to yet another species of con man."

I am an Apple fan, most of my personal tech devices are Apple, and I watch the keynotes every year. But. When I watched Steve Jobs the first time as an Apple fan, I was a little underwhelmed. It was only when I watched clips years later, getting caught in the musicality, that my fascination began.

Are you an Apple fan, or is the love of Steve Jobs its own thing?
