“New Mexico’s popularity as a film destination began long before the filming of the hit show Breaking Bad in the early 2000s.”
True or False
False
When did NM become a film destination?
Our state popularity as a film destination began nearly a century before the early 2000s. During the 1910s, NM was a very popular location for western style movies, Tom Mix starring in a dozen silent movies also helped.
why is the phrase “The know-it-all state of mind is just the result of being outside the mucous-paper wrapping of civilization. Underneath is everything we don’t know and are afraid of knowing.” not referring to the enlightened viewpoint that Lawrence achieved in NM?
the “know-it-all’ state of mind that Lawrence refers to is a product of the modern world that he disparages and seeks an escape from. It’s a state of mind that sees all places and people as products for consumption and enjoyment, exactly the opposite of humility that Lawrence’s NM experience included
