Jean Renoir predicted the decline of modern movies (and art in general)

In a proper tribal situation with people who think like you aren't required to be anonymous.

How can I eat my tendies and be in VR at the same time?

not really

You will "eat" virtual tendies, the taste-receptors in your brain will be electroshocked with simulated tendie-flavor, while the tube down your throat feeds you a steady drip of onions, bug-protein and multivitamin

>A discussion about film criticism? Let's find a way to make it about Trump.
And you fags like literal robots say "rent free" whenever someone mentions his name in an actual political discussion lmao. Truly a deranged cult.

Why are movies so fucking long nowadays, went back to my backlog of 2019 movies and almost all of them are over 2 hours

Fuck I always forget, I'm not on Yas Forums much these days

he said it was a third remove from reality.

>...We have seen three sorts of bed. The first exists in nature, and we would say, I suppose, that it was made by god. No one else could have made it, could they?

>I think not.

>The second is made by a carpenter

>Yes.

>And the third by a painter?

>Granted.

[...]

>God then, created only one real bed-in-itself in nature, either because he wanted to or because some necessity prevented him from making more than one; at any rate he didn't produce more than one, and more than one could not possibly be produced.

>Why?

>Because, suppose he created two only, another would emerge whose form the other two shared, and it, not the other two, would be the real bed-in-itself.

>That's true.

>And suppose that god knew it, and as he wanted to be a real creator of a bed, and not just a carpenter making a particular bed, produced in nature a single bed-in-itself.

>I suppose so.

>Then do you think we might call him author of its nature or some such name?

>We could do so with justice; for it and all other things in nature are creation.


>And what about the carpenter? Doesn't he manufacture a bed?

>Yes

>And what about the painter? Does he make or manufacture?

>No.

>Then what does he do?

>I think that we may fairly claim that he represents what the other two make.

>Good [...] Then you say that the artist's representation, is by nature at third remove from reality?

>I do.

In a proper tribal situation you act, think and say what is socially acceptable or you are ostracized and driven out.

Videogames are the greatest artform on the planet, the fact that they make boomers seethe and rage is because they don't want to have to admit they're too stupid to understand it.

But Bazin agrees with him in principle, no? Bazin's whole conceit was that realism was a shackle dragging down visual art, and the invention of photography/film finally freed painting from this shackle.
