There has been discussion about how the new technology has transformed a read only culture to a read write culture. Larry Lessig has spoken about how particularly youth culture has moved from a consumer culture to a particpatory creative culture.

Of course, I think that this has always been true to a greater or lesser extent.

But if you want to see a movie that argues in the most subversive way for a read write culture, run, don’t walk, to see Jack Black, Mos Def and Danny Glover in Be Kind Rewind. Not only is Jack Black Jack Black, but not since the final scenes of Cinema Paradiso have I been touched by the power of art as shown in a movie.

Oh, and it’s funny.
