Re: The point of having no point

I'm not saying a film has to be about huge social issues. Lost in Translation was about a middle aged man in a marriage that is SORT of happy. His career is in the dump forcing him to Japan to make adverts. He hates himself for pandering to the dollar. Johanssen is a young girl at the beginning of her road in a marriage she thinks is a mistake - she's probably right.

Fellini's film is all EGO. His creative block he posts to the screen. I have no problem with the premise if it had been handled competantly with character development.

There is no relation whatsoever to paintings so I didn't really respond to it. 81/2 didn't move me in any way exceopt make me feel anger toward the Director for being an ego-maniac.

I'm sure it was personal it was about him. Suffering? Yeah I'm sure he was hurting financially after his career. Suffering because he couldn't think of a fresh story is hardly suffering. To the artist it might be suffering but snort some coke or take Laudinum like all the other artists who have blocks and stop whining to me.

One person's opinion? Well if people actually saw this movie - if it did remotely anything at the box office and wasn't coveted by a small group of Art film fans this film would have ended up in the dung heap.

But then there are people who actually think The Great Gatsby was a good book too or theat Leo Tolstoy was more than just a long winded romance novelist.
