If I want to be a filmmaker, aside from reading and making my own films, will it benifit me to watch older films? I find they help me learn the fundamentals better, but I also wonder how I should find that modern 'touch' to add to my own work. Is there anything I can do besides watching the most critically acclaimed modern films?
Stuff like the camera work of Emmanuel Lubezki interests me (yes I know that's fucking basic), but otherwise I'm not sure. What do you think makes more modern films unique? Any ideas?

It is a very delicate balance, think about it like note taking, if you intend to just write down everything you might be getting bogged down. if you don't write down a thing you might be too choosy. just make sure youre feeling 80% productive or so, it is great to leave some space for decompressing. Reading, watching, is a bit more processing side heavy, so I would double the decompression and unpacking time you give yourself. But then again this is only my opinion or general rule of thumb, that those of us capable of practicing creative rules are not generally absorbent, instead we are authoritative and therefore more whimsical in our approach. It is fundamentally linked to problem solving, these creative rules you ingrain, and generally I think it is rare you will have legitimate reason to binge on any subsequent media, unless you're solving an incrementally elusive problem empty headed scanning of compositions running past your eyes can intimidate rather than inspire.
I find your creativity linked deeply with the right time and place, e.g. I've been writing *insert here* all my life and it just so happened a perfect portion of it appeared out of a meta culmination, and perhaps the rest is intensely and disproportionately built compared to the "birth" staple.
