"Do It Yourself" [In reply to] Can't Post


In Reply To
Is a very good point! Why can't we just enjoy the art people make instead of break it down into finite details. Just observe, let it affect you, and move on in life. Maybe it's not your thing. So go make your own and affect other people. That is what artists do.


It is more difficult to enjoy what one doesn't like to see, tastes or feel. One doesn't have to "break down" lima beans to understand why you don't like them. There's no need for analysis here; the effect is clear and so are the long-term effects of fads on dating films.

"Go make your" own film if you don't like what is offered crosses that line of final defense where it ultimately leads people to claim we have to be a director to criticize another director's film. That is patently false.

As for the "move on with life" mentality, that's what I do every time I leave this website or finish a movie. I go do other things that I care about. I am in the moment when I do those other things and not thinking about The Tealization of Hollywood. When I come back here, it's only part of what I'm thinking and posting about (more or less sometimes). I don't want my opinion speciously dismissed on the accusation that I'm so obsessed that it's all I think about or do. I just think about it when I read a topic that talks about it, and I respond. - like one does when one views art.
