So I’ve been recently bemusedly commenting on a YouTube comments section about art critique of all things.
The somewhat heated debates (which to be fair has remained mostly civil and cordial) is about whether or not one can objectively criticise art.
Of course this is independent of art theory, which exists, can be taught and even updates.
Like I’m not suggesting that that is irrelevant.
People having been bringing up film techniques used in films that have been deemed as “poor.”
But if a film maker deliberately uses those techniques to create the desired affect, are those techniques bad? Or are they just tools at the end of the day?
Someone else mentioned production mistakes as being objectionably bad. But some people like those mistakes and even enjoy hunting for them. There are probably films that put them in deliberately for those people.
So have at it? What’s your take?
