>The world is still made up of green apples and dreams and wishing wells and throwing pennies in fountains; the heart beats fast when a pretty girl winks. All of that is still what it is all about. The important things, the ones some people put down, are the lovely, wonderful things that give gooseflesh.
>The young film-maker, with a desire to gain information and be the best in his craft, should also be thinking about puppies and apples and gooseflesh, and wonderful, happy endings.
These are the last two paragraphs of the best book ever written about filmmaking, The Total Film-Maker by Jerry Lewis. Prove him wrong.Protip: you can't.

Yeah it is. Art is about making life more bearable by accentuating or highlighting its beautiful aspects, and only a misanthrope and/or propagandist would claim anything else. Any artist who doesn't end up living in a dumpster knows this, however solemn they may come off as part of their professional identity. Bergman went into tax exile because he got so rich, do you think he was troubled by thoughts of life's meaninglessness as he did so? Fuck no.

>Art is about making life more bearable
No, it's not. The function of art is to provide a totality, a complete whole, which is something that humans find missing in their daily lives and so pursue it through religion and art. And if you violate this totality, you are missing the point of art.

Why pretend to contradict me when you're agreeing with me?
