The point is whatever you make of it. Movies (art in general) don't have a "point" that you need to get right.

- righthand 2y agoMovies do have a point. Sure art has a “eye of the beholder” view-point but most art has intention the artist is trying to covey. People don’t just make a movie and say “hey what if we tack this wild ending on to it, that would really confuse people”.
- vasco 2y agoThe artist having an intention when creating the art doesn't mean the purpose of the beholder is to find out that intention, or to "get the point". You're mixing stuff up.
- righthand 2y agoIt’s also not-not the intention. So my claim that it is the point of the film is still valid, whether you think I’m “mixed up” about perceiving art or not.
- vasco 2y agoYes, trying to find the "original intention" is as valid as anything else, but not more valid than anything else, that was my point. Because it's very usual for discussion to be centered only on that.
