Please explain this French saying.Indian cinema is appallingly bad. It is their replacement for TV.
No, Vic may not dismiss US films, but there is a prejudice there. There is a limited scope of vision.
Follow Ups:
Well actually there are a few US films that I do like, and there is still the hope there are more to come...so like Cervantes we carry on.
Well I have the same prejudice then, but it is NOT one, just experience...
Look, most of them are sugar coated, far away from any truth, overly romantized, raped from any REAL human feelings, a cosmetical world without real soul..Look at " The Last Samurai "..I just saw the preview ( Yes THAT could be a real prejudice, but I KNOWS it is not )
This is just so distorted from any thing real real. Appaling.
Yes, the last Samurai was appallingly bad. An insult to Samurai everywhere. Ed Zwick thinks he's David Lean, but he isn't qualified to remove Lean's lens cap. It was plastic and emotionally retarded.Unlike you and Vic however, I don't think EVERY movie has to be pure truth and stark reality. Movies inherently have a cosmetic and sugar coated element. the trick is to hold that in check.
On the other hand this is a personal question, why wasting his time and getting dumber at this stupid movies when there are so manys good outside that we still did not see...
And no they donīt have inherently what you says!!!
Weird thing to say!
But you could post a headline on this:
" Are all movies inherently cosmetic and sugar coated "
Do that.
