Re: You're reaching. Desperately.

In Response To: Re: You're reaching. Desperately. (Cody Miller)

: Nope. They are not wrong at all. If someone says they like them, and they
: mean it, then it's a true statement and they are right.

Their opinion is right in that it's their opinion, and regardless of their motivations or experiences, they have every right to like them. Factually, they're horribly written, acted terribly, have little to no characterization, and are a great example of why genre fiction isn't looked upon very highly in the grand scheme of writing. Facts.

: Instead, you should examining WHY they like them. Perhaps they are young,
: haven't experienced the world, have no idea what love is, haven't seen
: better films, etc.

: However, what I am arguing is not based on opinion but fact. FACT: talkies
: offer a wider range of artistic possibilities because you can use
: everything the silents had PLUS SOUND. Color offers a wider range of
: artistic possibilities because you can do everything you can with black
: and white PLUS USE COLOR. 3D enables a wider range of artistic
: possibilities because you can have everything color movies have PLUS DEPTH
: to work with.

All correct. Just like in Schindler's List because the black and white allowed for the color to be impactful. You're spot on in your example.
