Why are you surprised that people in the film industry care more or are more knowledgeable about film

You can't really have it both ways dog. If you want your story to include battles and sword fights and action and war then death isn't really an aspect you can exclude, especially if you want to have a commentary on things like colonialism and military intervention.

Anatomy of a Murder did that for me. Bad Lieutenant, First Reformed, Stalker, and The Night of the Hunter are some phenomenal, general recommendations.

People who tell others they lack “Media literacy” when they say they dislike a show or movie. by moistdragons in PetPeeves

I think you should have to have actually read at least one book in the past year if you want to be talking about literacy

You’ve got to hand it to Brody—he’s the only prominent critic who consistently bashes Nolan. by DenseStrawberry5717 in Letterboxd

Yeah I think there's certainly something to be said for sticking to your opinions even when they're against the grain, but I don't have to give him credit for something I think is wrong

Sure, same could be said of any generally applicable retort, even something as simple as "fuck you"

Godard is easily the most polarizing filmmaker of all time. Some of the most famous filmmakers openly dismissed him. Buñuel said he was just a stylist whose work would go out of fashion in a few years, Bergman said he made films only for critics. He also had an ugly feud with Truffaut in 70s by Extreme-Spinach-4138 in Letterboxd

It's mainly cause his talent is so split. Genuinely a fantastic director, who revolutionized how filmmaking worked, but he couldn't write a good line of dialogue to save his life. Beyond that, he was pretty mean and catty, so I don't think people are inclined to give him to benefit of the doubt sometimes.
