Fair, but that wasn’t the distinction I was trying to make. The point is, films can have legitimately different purposes, just as things you hang on the wall can. I hesitate to say that one of those purposes is higher than all the others, but that does seem to be the judgment the auteurs are making.
The effort that went into them can be (not always — but sometimes) orthogonal to that.
- baddox 7y agoThat’s the point I was trying to make: that the difference between Scorsese’s classics and Marvel blockbusters doesn’t seem to be anything remotely objective (or even subjectively quantifiable) like “level of talent required” or “amount of detail.”
