Ambivalence?

I have conflicting views on it.

I wanted to run it past you guys before I formulate an opinion what the correct view of it should be.

That way I won't look silly if I'm already commited to a point of view that has flaws.

I'm sure that's the best approach to take, or am I?

edit: because I was ambivalent about the spelling of ambivalence...

    I think I agree but it's too soon to tell.

    Can I get back to you on that?

    It's hard to say right off.

    Are you working with the popular "doesn't give a hoot about anything" definition of ambivalence?

    Or

    Are you working with the more literal "acknowledgement that there are simultaneous and perhaps conflicting considerations" definition of ambivalence?

    It could run both ways, I think...

    Whatever one yeilds the best answers I guess, I haven't decided yet.

    I'm hoping I can then run with that one as if it were my original intent and seem like I was a really clever Bouy all along.  I'm just not sure that's a good way of going about yet.

    Thanks for your thoughtful reply though, I appreciate it, I think.

    There is a chance that you may be able to discover your original intent in some previous post.

    I know my original intent but I don't want to show any commitment to an idea 'til all views are in.

    Then, depending on the views of others, I shall have the opportunity to pour derision on my original views if I find them wanting without anyone knowing what they actually were in the first place.  It will save me from any risk of ever looking silly surely.

    It's a technique I've seen used to good effect and I'm wondering if it will work for me.

    Of course that link doesn't infer anything that I may or may not be thinking.

    I just put it out there in case it offered anything you may or may not find helpful.

    Neither for or against?

    That could be a good choice.

    Hi

    I just wish Kurosawa was a bit more genuine in the role of himself here...it would have made the non-descript popcorn I was eating seem more palatable.

    His characterization of the main character could have been more inclined toward his 'true' art rather than basing it on a largely fictitious idea based on having no idea who the true character really was...which while it seems a good idea to that...well I guess you know what I'm saying here...being as I'm informed about these things.

    Although the fact he played himself it didn't necessarily qualify him has having a real insight into the character like I did.

    I always say go for the feel rather than the script even if you've lived the script and drawn it from memory...if you write it on a word-processor then well the technology is going to take over.

    I'm not so sure.

    I guess I'd like to have seen the idea of a cynical head making up with a scolded pure heart.

    The thing with movies these days the end is mostly more formulaic than that.  I know I can have no influence on outcomes but that doesn't prevent me from holding a sentiment dear to me and having dreams.
