Victor, you missed my point. Does country music satisfy the same emotions, intellectual needs or desires, or the same impulse in you, as, say classical music? I do not know your music preferences, but is there a reason, at some time in the day, you choose to listen to classical versus pop? Why? Are there some times in the day you prefer to listen to pop over classical? Or country? If so, then it is because there is some emotion, some need that one form of music addresses, and one does not. I am not suggesting that you "listen" to one with a different frame of mind. Unless of course you only listen to classical, or rock, or country. Which would be consistent with you enjoying a specific genre.Again, the use of the word "art." I am not sure what that means to you. Define it please. I suspect that if you view every film with an eye toward whether it satisfies your definition of "art", you will inevitably dislike most films, particularly those that are made to do nothing other than provide escapist entertainment. Those films will have value which you will not see, because they do not satisfy your notion of "art." Which is fine. But I can only imagine how much time you are wasting. Or is there a reason you enjoy watching films you know you will not like. What need does that exercise satisfy?
