"Freedom Of Expression" - BLOG - Evan Evans
Acceptance, tolerance, and perhaps having an open mind is all that one needs as their criticism tools. Unless the person is doing someone else harm, or if they are putting themselves at more harm than they are aware, then you(society) don't need to intervene.
As George Carlin said: "In the future, when we finally get over racism, bigotry, and everyone is purple, red, and brown ... then we'll have to hate people for who they truly are."
Movies are no better than radio. Radio's content is not music. The MUSIC is just the "commercials" so the real content can be heard in between (the ads). And movies are just actor delivery devices. People don't see movies because of the stories. They just see whatever movie their trusted idol has endorsed this time. It's a giant product endorsed by gamble-holics (actors who got lucky).
Outside of that jaded view, there actually can be found some art in movie making. And those are the only films I care about. Films and film scores that are innovative, and progressing the art. If we ever squash the ability to express movies artistically we'll have completed the loop on Capitalism and become worth only what energy we're willing to give up to those who will take it. Capitalism is mean. It punishes the weak and rewards the strong. It's just an excuse to be an asshole. But while we're TRAPPED in a society, born into capitalism, we have to spend 90% of our lives scrambling to keep our loved ones alive, and healthy, in "the system". And a lot of us are nuts enough to think that MONEY is what makes one healthy (mentally, physically, and spiritually). We've been squeezed so tight into scrambling into compliance, that we can barely eek out any deep meaning from our life INTO art anymore.
Art is what connects us to the eternal life force. It helps us realize how we should think, what we should care about, who should be important to us. Anyone who is a lover of art (free expression) is doing a part in making the universe a peaceful place.
DO MORE ART ... LESS CAPITALISM.
