not only is it not art, but it's arguably not even film
American Sniper directed by the auteur Clint Eastwood
tbch as much as the story sucks, most of the modern disney movies are visually stunning in every way
frozen 2 was a huge nothingburger but each frame was utterly gorgeous
visual beauty isn't enough for a film to be considered art. we're not talking about a painting here, there's other components that have to be factored in
yeah i know i just wanted to say it

Easy.
>adjusted for inflation

one of the few genuine contenders. but i'd say it misses the mark because of its over emphasis on special effects and action sequences.
good effort though, this one almost made it
The Wizard of Oz
You can't refuse to adjust for inflation. You're a brainlet.

the point of my thread is that, for various reasons, it's impossible to simultaneously make a blockbuster and a work of art in the 21st century.
the 60's and 70's don't interest me. not only were audiences smarter and more aesthetically sophisticated then, but high budget directors were also basically given free reign to do whatever they wanted. it was a different time
>it's impossible to simultaneously make a blockbuster and a work of art in the 21st century.
Tinker Tailor
You are a faggot, OP. As usual.
Describe this "art" to me OP
