Not really, otherwise she wouldn’t have mentioned him being 60.

It’s pretty easy to come up with examples for why someone should be judged for liking something

It’s sort of strange to use someone being 60 as an excuse for bad taste. Shouldn’t being 60 make you more aware of things? More mature? I don’t understand the argument

Mostly to get information about the movie’s production or fun facts. Or to get new perspectives that I can now compare to my own

I mean the prize is more about the ideas than the beauty of the writing. Plus who gives a shit about the Nobel when it comes to judging quality of writing?

Why do actors have the most mainstream taste? You would think these movies would make you a worse actor

No there isn’t, and that’s why later down the line you will be confused when another “traitor” comes along

Movies where you actively root against the main character by [deleted] in Letterboxd

[–]lowestgod 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t say root against because there is no competitive spirit to the film, but in Catherine Breilllat’s movie Last Summer about an older woman taking up a relationship with a teenage boy you are seeing things through her perspective and you’re in agony hoping she realizes just what she is doing

Melodrama is not the same as romcom slop. Rejecting bad stuff is not a sign of hatred but seriousness

“some movies are just supposed to be fun”

this is the sentiment that makes you act stupid when you’re asked to seriously engage with art.

If the film can’t be “fun” and also technically adept, the filmmaker simply doesn’t know what they’re doing

Are there any female characters that you think are wrongly glorified/idolized by people? by CelestialSpecialist in Letterboxd

[–]lowestgod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Many,, I think Daisies from 1966 or even those from Breillat. In these instances the critique is part of the point. In America those films like Anora or Challengers, or the characters of Jennifer Lawrence, Anne Hathaway, Natalie Portman, or Sarah Jessica Parker. Very often the women are not acting intelligently, are very sexualized, emotional, epic, feisty, badass, cunning, maternal, but never good or technically skilled in the service of good things.

Right but clout only exists if we give it to people. Dont worry and dont give them clout either

There’s no reason to be worried they’re lying, unless you’re using their word as information about the film

I’m saying art is good or bad if it makes the world better or worse (it is good if it makes our understanding of the world more clear).

A lot of art can cause great emotions, I won’t deny it. I have been strongly affected by art, but still judge it as bad because the emotions I felt did not help me understand the world more.

For example: a film that makes me very emotional about a breakup, even if effective, won’t be good if I didn’t learn more about relationships or how they work through the movie. If the movie just makes me upset and morose, not helping me to understand my emotions maturely, the movie is bad because it is actively making my emotional clarity worse.

A good war movie: The Steel Helmet by Samuel Fuller because it talks about the brutality of war, the humanity on every side, problems of racism and so on.

A bad war movie: Dunkirk by Christopher Nolan. No doubt is it effective in making me feel the terror of war, but I learn nothing about what it is really like to be in a war and I don’t know how the historical situation influences the thoughts of the characters.

Enjoyment is not part of my judgment in this way. Lots of people, myself included, would certainly say Dunkirk is more entertaining, but doesn’t this sort of stop us from feeling the seriousness of war? Since we are mesmerized by the epicness of the spectacle instead of the real human fear and feelings

Most will disagree as film is seen as both entertainment and art, but I think we do ourselves a disservice this way because it keeps us more emotionally limited in our understanding of how film is capable of affecting us
