Ken Burns's Frank Lloyd Wright documentary is one of my favorites. The guy went through so many ups and downs in his career and created some of his most amazing works well and age when most would have retired. Leaves you feeling like it's never too late to accomplish something amazing if you stick to your convictions.
- dkarl 16y agoI found it quite the opposite. He valued his genius above anything else, honored no inconvenient personal obligations, and was chronically dishonest when promoting new projects, and without those qualities, his accomplishments would have been much more limited. I don't feel inspired by that at all -- I could perhaps convince myself I was a genius and do anything to further my creative output, but I can't morally do that, because the odds are overwhelming that I would not create beautiful and enduring works of art that eclipsed the personal damage to people around me the way Frank Lloyd Wright's architecture does.
