I agree, i was just trying to find out whether or not anyone else felt the same way i do about kevin smith. Perhaps this was the wrong forum to make an inquiry regarding his work. So in short; your response was more than adequate in satisfying my curiosity.
I’m new to this web site; I was trying to test out the waters. The internet is plagued with Kevin smith fan boys, i just assumed a large portion of the bloggers on this website place kevin smith on a pedestal.
What are the unifying characteristics within the depressing category? Or, why do you characterize the following films as depressing? The Wrestler, Revolutionary Road, Snow Angels, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, and Doubt.
I had not read the posts on this blog prior to making my post. I was unaware of the criteria, in regards to who can be considered overrated. And no i do not hate kevin smith. I am just perplexed by the unfaltering dedication of his fan base.
I’m not advocating that we reduce the categorization of film to a simple dualism. But i must say i tend to gravitate towards films that are usually characterized as down beat.
The terms are very much subjective. I was simply trying to base my responses on what i believed drew considered down beat or melancholy. Abiding by his/her frame of reference.
If i were to rate this directors over all ability, only basing my opnion on thion this film into consideration. I would have to disagree with your view. Talented of course, but genius? He displays grace and wit with his command of slap stick . But he seems to me to be in the shadow of Chaplin. Recycling the motifs found in Chaplin’s work. Like his commentary on industrialized society, which depth does not exceed that of Chaplin’s in the modern times. what he does well is wrap a french sensibility around these concepts. Creating something with a unique charm. the other aspect of the film that enjoyed was the relationship between the main character and the young boy. When viewing this film i found experience pleasurable.
i know I’m slightly diverging from my initial inquiry, but what mode narrative usually utilized by literature. Would work even better when utilized through film.
Is anyone here familiar with the works of Schopenhauer? I believe a large portion of you would like his writings on aesthetics. If any of you are familiar with his work; in your opinion, where do you think film would rank amongst other art forms, in Schopenhauer s opinion.
