All films are art, you imbeciles.

All paintings are art, all drawings are art, all sculptures are art; art is art is art is art.

Art cannot be not-art.

You idiots need to do away with this morning thinking of "if I like it, it's art; if I dislike it, it's not-art." Bad art is art; good art is art; mediocre art is art.

When a film is made, it is art. Stop using art as a description of "good."

>capekino
That's a contradiction.

You realize why capeshit is called capeshit, right?

It's because it's superheroes, they're not realistic. They can't die and they have deus ex machine to magically save the day.

That's why it's a horrible comparison to say capeshit is the modern western. Westerns dealt with real social and political issues on a base level, rural developing civilization. Take for example, The Big Country, which is an allegory for the Cold War.

But at the root, what truly separates capeshit from legitimate cinema is not writing. It's the core concept. Superheroes aren't real, they are anti-cinema. Cinema is a reflection of reality, it exposes it and enlightens us about it. That's why the Big Country was shown at the White House and capeshit never will be.

It's why /lbg/ prefers the French New Wave and slow cinema >>81145061 → → https://archive.4plebs.org/tv/thread/81114716/#q81114716

It's why this anon agrees on the proliferation of talking cartoon animals dominating the box office having a systematic relationship with the dumbing down of society. https://archive.4plebs.org/tv/thread/80967606/#q80974789

It's why this anon cares about Jacques Rivette's opinion >>81152322

It's why this anon uses the word "kino" >>81152541 because he's referring to the principles of the kino-pravda to depict reality without plot

It's why this anon >>81152694 calls capeshit capeshit despite having reverence for it. He knows it's excrement. It's why he names shit filmmakers like Seijun Suzuki in relation with the genre

It's why this anon >>82399495 and this anon>>82399370 reference Bazin and Kracauer, strong proponent film theorists in defense of cinema as a fundamentally realist medium

Okay maybe it's because you don't seem to have ever functioned properly on the outside world so you don't know how to argue or even use a source I will help you out: When you cite a source, historical text, a critique, a quote, you have to actually say what's your point is. I know swearing is a lot more fun and makes you feel superior, but that's how sources work, they don't do the work for you, they merely support your opinion.

That's a contradiction. Film cannot be art. If it could, it would be lowbrow pop art. Film doesn't demand the reception and energy that literature and theatre require. With film, you're merely looking at flickering images, a byproduct of photography which in itself is another superior artform.

Why can't it be an adaptation? What is the original book was shit?
>>
>>82457625
Nobody picks a shit book to adapt unless your intentions were to extremely change the source material to the point of nonrecognizability. Which, in that case, wouldn't really be an adaptation. Regardless, the written text will always be a fundamentally superior medium
>>
>>82457746
Why is it a superior medium?
>>
>>82457782
The written word is naturally superior because you can demonstrate the most extraneous of minute subtleties
>>
>>82457928
A picture's worth a thousand words
>>
>>82457970
Photography is also superior to film, and film is a byproduct of photography.
>>
>>82458052
So film is better than literature then
>>
>>82458085
No, film is a hodgepodge of other superior mediums. With its combinative quality, it cancels out any possibly of it being its own separate medium. Film is counterfeit art, a commercial medium for only the lowest of bottomfeeders.

Megaautist, it's been 7 hours give it up.

Because a photograph is naturally art. Film is similar to radio plays in that they are required to lean on the weight of superior mediums in order to stand on their own.

I agree that photography is art, but what do you mean by "naturally"?

>>82460851
Photography is not the shadow of painting. A photograph uses the authority of reality to convey a conceptual meaning, a meaning that hinges on the recognition of reality. Paintings are the likeness of a mental concept; the artist creates an image that is filtered and shaped by his own experiences, essentially creating the most effective aspect possible within the resources of the medium and his perspective.
>The process by which we understand an abstract, graphic image is almost directly opposite to that by which we understand a photograph. In the first case, the aspect leads us to meaning; in the second case the understanding that results from recognition is the key to our evaluation of the aspect.

>>
>>82456819
It is separate from theater as it is not "living", the singular film as an art form is unchanging and eternal, whereas the singular play changes with each performance and production

It is separate from photography as it can be used to demonstrate movement. Please for the love of god, do not be obtuse and use Muybridge as a refutation.

It is separate from music and literature as it incorporates the visual sense.

While these defining factors may be too technical for what you were looking for, they can be used to create unique artistic approaches to old subjects.

I don't need a citation for common sense.

Nobody on 4chan wants to listen to you or is even worth convincing. All this energy you spend arguing with strangers online could be better spent having productive discussions with people in your own area's film community, writing essays or books on film, contributing to a publication on film, etc.
