Over Rated Film

By: Sarah.J

This list includes films which I find to be atrociously over rated. As they usually deal with melodramatic subject matter, often manipulative with no real intent or message to bring the viewer. I am of the opinion that film, as any art, should try capture life in its essence. Life isn’t merely a desolate waste land, as some film portray, leaving the viewer with no hope do to the absence of human prevalence. Life has tragedy and comedy in varying degrees. Most of all, in life humans prevail. Even if this means that people need to submit to slavery, and only show their deviance in private moments, as in Pasolini’s SALÒ, OR THE 120 DAYS OF SODOM. No matter how horrific a life, a film must be true to life, and therefore filmed as art. There is also the fact that some movies are either overly pretentious, or considered a classic so much by people, that the general public believe it. Some other films might be actually good, however, not even remotely as much as people make the films out to be. I understand that I am utterly biased, and I don’t pretend that my opinion is right or superior in any way, so feel free to contradict me.
