As a result, I have read a lot of film reviews, but my understanding of the film is not very helpful. Instead, I have more thoughts. I generally found these three types of interesting movie fans:
Category A: I have not even understood as many things as I have, and I have already begun to talk about it. Of course, part of the misunderstanding of the most basic plot can be attributed to the quality of online subtitles. And formulaic and dry conclusions, such as the "criminal nature of the capitalist system", "religious hypocrisy", etc., can be put in textbooks as fresh examples intact.
Category B: If you say that this is an epic background, profound themes, brilliant awards records, protagonist starring and rave reviews, then you will not be deeply moved or not followed by praise. It seems quite outdated. Isn’t there still this song—you can do it, and so can I.
Category C: They can make wonderful comments on many details and many bridges, and from this they can extend the different versions of the director's intentions. But for some of them, I always have this feeling: they are not only writing about their afterthoughts and exchanging experiences, but also to show off their seniority and profoundness; they are also immersed in a condescending superiority while exposing them eloquently. Feeling. And the best in this part simply tells you straightforwardly, if you don't even understand this or that point, then you are completely in vain. So instead of saying that they are chewing the film, it is better to say that they are immersed in the pleasure of a certain kind of intellectual release.
No matter how great films and directors are, they don’t need to be held up high. Just as the birth of a masterpiece is done by the author and the reader together, the Hamlet in your mind may be more exciting than Shakespeare's.
And I always think that "The Emperor's New Clothes" is the greatest fairy tale I have ever read, not one of them. If we can't be the most powerful fan, at least we can be the most honest fan.
