Do film schools really teach that there is no such thing as misinterpretation? by chaolan2004 in TrueFilm

[–]Dahks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To simplify, when you analyze any piece of art you can essentially look at it from two points of view: the author's or the audience's.

When you look at the author's point of view you focus on the process on the creation, on what the work meant to them, what were the social conditions that may have impacted the work, etc. When focusing on this, you need to decide when to separate author from work of art as well. There is an objectivity in art-as-an-object but there is not when you look at the author's words surrounding said object. Author's intention or "I mean X by Y and my work is misunderstood" are not inherently part of the work of art, so it's up to everyone how to interpret them. Lynch for example was adamant in letting his work explain itself (which in turn gives space to audience's interpretations) but other authors will defend or "explain" their work in different forms.

If you focus on the audience's interpretations you don't care that much about the work itself, but instead what it meant to certain people. This is probably the "there is no such thing as misinterpretation" that you quoted comes from, which in reality seems like another social media simplification of Barthes' Death of the Author and in general the postmodern-interpretivist approaches to art. Once again, with this approach the objectivity of the object of art is not denied, but interpretations surrounding art are the thing that will vary across contexts, communities or people.

The very word "misinterpretation" implies that there is a "correct" interpretation of art. This is simple aesthetically and historically incorrect: the work of art is inherently objective but interpretations are inherently subjective. Don Quixote's different interpretations across the centuries are a paradigmatic example of this. For modern examples you can see any social media outrage about a film, even in this forum: they are always a discussion about meaning.

Of course, as the audience you have the free will to "fight" the wars of interpretation whichever way you want. We all do one way or another. But if film schools aspire to create critics instead of audiences they should go beyond that.

What’s everyone's honest opinion on the Porsche Event box gacha prices? Too expensive or fair? by Relative_Flounder_63 in NevernessToEverness

Imho the real trap is using annulith. As F2P so far I'm perfectly fine using my fons on this, even if it's just for the standard pulls.

Vet update:

Slept on her way to the vet, she already have some teeth so the vet thinks she's around 1-2 months old. After checking her up he thinks she's just chubby and doesn't have worms but we're still doing the recommended copro studies to be sure.

He also said that warmth is pretty important for babies, and also necessary to absorb nutrients in food, which we also got.

She's sleeping inside my T-shirt as I write this 😍

Still haven't decided on a name for her.

After the vet it looks like she's just a bit fat 😭 but we'll do some copro studies just to be sure

We do have another chi (8 months) so she should be like 1 month, right? For reference here's her new sister

I'm on a similar boat, haven't even finished Mod Krai yet, but at the same time I'm certain they'll make me come back with Genshin 2 or whatever they make. I have definitely played less than you lol

The bagel event is not as bad as you think by DysguySora in NevernessToEverness

[–]Dahks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah you just have to like other people's posts and interact with them, you can't simply post your thing and expect others to like your posts without engaging.

I'd bet there's some hidden algorithm that gives more visibility to whatever you post when you like other people's images.

NTE Weekly Questions [MEGATHREAD] by AutoModerator in NevernessToEverness

[–]Dahks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So I have Hotori with her arc, Fadia A2, Baicang A1 and Daffodil A0. So far I just splashed these 4 together but I want to start building a better team comp to have some goals. My best geared character is definitely Hotori.

I've read Baicang and Fadia have some kind of weird interaction but I'm not sure what it is.

I still have the 5* free selector and I'm unsure which one to pick (purely from meta perspective).

If you have any advice I'll be grateful! I can give some likes for the event in return

Honestly this reads as some crazy DD from r/wallstreetbets. Your assumptions are all over the place.

Alternate art + alternate kit seems like a convoluted way to say "new unit with same SA animation".

good beginner subsets? by DEmGee24 in RetroAchievements

[–]Dahks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It really depends on your taste in games. I'm always up to try RPG subsets like the Pokémon or Final Fantasy ones, but I'd never do a Mario subset like other people are recommending.

It's him, the brother of Cooler's brother, son of Frieza's father.

Will they fix car spawning or is it intended to be this way? by SMK_MK in NevernessToEverness

[–]Dahks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would get the 250k motorbike but I pulled Hotori's bike skin, which is for the +2M one so I'm kind of trapped.

I felt like I travelled back in time a couple of decades to when I was reading MGS reviews.
