In Reply to: "Who actually writes like that?" In this day of public-school training... posted by clarkjohnsen on November 26, 2003 at 07:25:31:
Pseudo-intellectuals writing right-coast elitist clap-trap for other ivory tower wankers isn't my idea of inspired critical appraisal. FTR, it seems to me that you both are trying to slip personal politics into this discussion of Master and Commander. Mr. Michael A. Hoffman II Esq.'s overblown-me-down hyperbole in the first and last paragraph is implicitly parroted in your cracker wants a Polly "In this day of public-school training..." header.Like I said in my comments before I enjoyed the movie and generally agree with the substance of the critic's conclusions as to the quality of the film. It's his analysis, and your's, of the film's value as propaganda with which I differ. Had he simply stated that The Patriot was a weak film because certain scenes were so preposterous that they ruined the film's credibility, while endorsing Master and Commander because Peter Weir chose to be more faithful to the period detail and mannerisms from our distant contemporary perspective, then his critical analysis would've ranked much higher in my estimation.
