Re: Ooops - wrong!

Here's my post to which you responded -"Excellent analysis. I agree wholeheartedly. Rabid dislike for this film is perplexing to me, yet I see a pattern in that. If someone likes "Run Lola Run" better than this film I don't think there's a point in discussing it. I think it's one of the best films made in the last 20 yrs."
How can it be wrong? It's not a physics test:))

"Given large enough audience one will always find some supporting voices, and here I think we have such case."
Please don't use the word "case". It reminds of the time I worked in the Medical Examiner's Office.
As far as the form versus content, please read my answer to you about Rothko. They cross.

"But one can safely say that majority opinion is what rules in art"
Ouch, Van Gogh sold one or two paintings in his lifetime. Orson Welles "The Trial" and "Othello" were huge flops. Vermeer wasn't discovered till a few centuries after his time. Too many examples. So, you contradict yourself with what I quoted and what you said at the end - "And as far as it being or not being a true artwork - perhaps in a hundred of years we will know."
Which majority's opinion rules the art? Here, in the Films Asylum?:))I never count on majority; if I did I'd have Leroy Neiman lithographs on my wall, Britney Spears playing in the background. Majority is never a litmus test;in fact I think it just proves the opposite - perhaps real art can be appreciated by few?
We'll see, we'll see. So, this kind of makes this discussion irrelevant. Just two polar opinions about a film.
