Problem is that I don't really think that's what cinema is. I mean, we need both. Films with artistic value, which I can surely appreciate, and films with no more purpose that entertain. And I feel that both are valid and they both have its merits. It's just that I feel that, for a movie to earn massive praise (and I mean similar praise to Boyhood, Moonlight, Godfather...), they have to be thoughtful, reflexive, realistic dramas XD. A blockbustery action dramovie, with no other purpose that entertain (and there are good and bad ways to do that), are never gonna get that level of praise. Even if characters, action, cinematography, etc... is spot on. |
We need both but cinema is first and foremost an art so it makes sense, anyways when a blockbuster is really good it gets huge praise, just look MadMax Fury Road (maybe my favourite action movie ever) that movie to me is art but is not exactly an artsy movie, is clearly a blockbuster with cars, explosions, hard men, hot women, many action scenes and all that jazz but it had wonderful critics all around (90 on meta) because it was extremelly well made
