By which I mean that you guys are disrespectful and ignorant to this art as much as the next redditor.
Both of you treat Film as a consumer identity as a football hooligan by choosing a "tribe" and avoiding intellectual discussion, constructive criticism or simple confrontation in favour of primitive and destructive bashing of each others favorite brands.
Both of you are more interested in quantity and respecting over emotionally understanding and absorbing the craft of this art.
Both of you are highly illiterate and pander to the lowest common understanding and effect of this art this being "empathy".
Both of you are anti film and victims of the current methods of distribution that make film something trivial and inferior to television, advertising and videoclip.
Both of you can name more films than any of the great Auteurs in history yet you will never be on the same level of even the lowest of the mass produced confectioners because you treat this art as a flag and as a choice instead of being organically part of your being. This not only is valid for cinema but for everything else and sadly not just on the internet but this malaise of yours is leaking in real life (or maybe viceversa).
Pasolini once said that "what authoritarianism was unable to do with his solemn retoric television did with the opposite". Since television and film do have deep down a blood relation and in a ceratain sense use the same language it's your fault if the world it's in shit.
Instead of being the only sense of reason and the only art form who can still make a difference you guys as the rest of the "cinephile" choose balkanization and hooliganism.
