Matthew McConaughey’s ‘Art of Livin’ live event was a disappointment, dragging viewers through a five-hour sales pitch that felt more like selling snake oil than offering genuine value. The length and commercial nature of the event disrespected the audience’s time and patience. However, there was a silver lining when McConaughey referred to a section in his book “Greenlights” about filters: “As an actor I’m performing someone else’s script, I’m directed by somebody else, I’m being lensed in a camera by somebody else, and I’m being edited by someone else before my original raw expression gets to you on screen. That’s 4 filters.” This moment highlighted the significance of live, in-person interactions, which, despite requiring preparation, have fewer filters and thus allow for a more genuine human experience. Makeup, often seen as a filter, plays a similar role; while character makeup for movies can distance the essence of the true actor from the audience, makeup for in-person gatherings can enhance connection, providing a more intimate and authentic interaction.
