Maybe torture porn or whatever it’s called should justify itself, but otherwise no. The most interesting and coolest directors (and rock bands, etc.) never impose specific interpetations or meanings on their work, nor are they defensive about how others interpret or criticize it.. Open-minded and leaving things open-ended. Deliberate provocateurs have to expect anger and outrage, but if they’re smart they use the same tactic.
