Bill Cunningham New York
- by admin
Which I just finished watching and I can't recommend enough.
In case you don't know Bill Cunningham is this amazing man who basically has gone around New York for decades and documented fashion on the runway but mostly off of it. People who are interested in people interest me and I'm hugely interested in Bill Cunningham and even more so now that I've watched this movie about him.
One of my favourite parts of the film is when Bill is given an award and he says
"it's as true today as it ever was... he who seeks beauty will find it"
which made me tear up and gave me chills because it's so unbelievably true.
That's what made the film so good and I think what makes people like Bill Cunningham: he's focused on the beauty in the world and that's what he tries to capture in his photos. There's a part in the movie where they talk about a falling out he had with a magazine because they used his photos in to make fun of people instead of praising their personal styles which is so inspiring to me. He celebrates individuality and personal expression and doesn't give a damn about much else.
Oh plus he rides his bike EVERYWHERE which makes him even more endearing.
I can't recommend Bill Cunningham: New York enough. It's a charming and inspiring reminder to do what you love.
