Re: hard not to comment art/film without considering sociaty in general......

***You were silent on Picasso's "Guernica". Perhaps it is the exception that proves the rule?

Two reasons. One - Patrick already mentioned it. Two - I am in general not a great fan of Picasso... I feel his monumental nature, but I am not in love with most of his art.

Ah, and perhaps three... it's been many years since I saw Guernica, so I do not have fresh enough impression to comment on it - just to be fair.

But you are basically right - it is the overtness of the message that I object to. One can find messages in all works, if that is his inclination, sometimes it takes effort, but one should be completely dumb to miss it in Moore's work.

And thanks for giving me chance to look once again at Potemkin and Nevsky... however after some evaluation I still feel that the political message in these was not in your face, especially in Nevsky.

Call me dumb, but I must have watched it hundred times before someone told me about its message!

I guess that bring up the question about the type of the message. If it is present clearly in Petemkin, and really sticks out like a sore thumb in Philadelphia, you would never realize it was there in Nevsky - you would need to be told about it.
