For instance, the masses seem to like Pulp Fiction and many would indeed consider it the greatest film ever made, while a small elite group of cinephiles (with discerning tastes) know this is not the case. Who would one want to judge which is the greatest film ever made – the small elite or the ignorant masses?
So-called higher educated people learn what society wants them to learn from institutionally approved material. There is no critical thinking outside this box.
I know of no modern government that has a traditional monarchy. To achive such a monarchy in the modern world is next to impossible, but Z asked what my ideal form of goverment was and I answered. In today’s modern-thinking world it would be easier to achive a benevolent dictatorship. Of course, this would not be an ideal form of government.
Which film has changed your life forever? about 4 years ago
Triumph of the Will. It really showed me that democracy can work. The masses are always right.

He’s a dirty commie. Dracula is a melancholic aristocrat. Little Joe MUST be the villain.

“The swath it cuts through cinema is very narrow.”
Indeed, this canon is as biased as any other.

20 films is enough to represent a wide range of cinema, but I really don’t care either way; this is just an arbitrary list on the internet.

Perhaps the inclusion of a short film to counterbalance all the long ones would have been helpful and, yes, more films pre 1950.

I enjoyed Narc, but I’ve yet to see any of his other films for lack of interest. Jack has got me interested in this one.

That is unfortunate as I was looking forward to seeing The Moment of Truth, JJ. Regardless, I’ll still see it, if only for the bullfighting scenes.

Being literate does not make one less ignorant. In fact, it tends to make one more ignorant if one does not know how to discern information.

There is no difference between art and politics. Politics is the art of action.

One should not compare the traditional Western monarchy with the monarchy of a barbaric people.

Inaction is the definition of democracy which makes for bad politics, Santino.

Indeed, Santino. Inaction is good politics in a democracy and that is the problem.
