so i'm not sure i agree that it's a futile question, although maybe it is with rms haha
i think there are a lot of things i love nowadays that i would never have loved if i hadn't heard or read different perspectives which forced me to reconsider my own. rewatches are often quite different to first viewings due to my approaching them from different angles, and that's often down to conversations i've had or works of criticism i've read. so i'm not sure i agree that it's a futile question, although maybe it is with rms haha
not even sure why you posted that comment
what is it with you taking jokey comments seriously?
I think there's a critical problem if you cannot explain to someone why you enjoy a film, album or book/novel/etc. Enjoy, here, is being limited to subjective measures, not critical or technical aptitude.
I was being difficult and contrarian, mainly because the film's purported feminism seemed to piss off rms to no end, for who knows what fucking reason.
This just reaffirms my impression that you have stupid opinions on movies, haha.
If there's anyone who understands the difference between pop feminism and academic, it's me (sorry for tooting my horn, but I'm around this stuff constantly).
I'm doubtful that you've seen more "important" films than I have (or that you even realized you were watching an important film, for that matter).
