No More Movies
This is a very frustrating article because, and I&#x27;m making assumptions here, it seems like the author hasn&#x27;t tried that much to go beyond canonical american cinema. If I&#x27;m wrong, then my mistake, but the only films mentioned here are hollywood productions and it seems like the movies they&#x27;re dissapointed by browsing Amazon Prime are the latest big-budget Hollywood production that doesn&#x27;t have much special going on<p>Also, the #5 footnote says a lot. I&#x27;m a huge David Lynch fan, so understand I&#x27;m speaking with bias here, but to fully dismiss movies that are loved by many as &quot;objectively bad&quot; speaks to a small imagination of what films can be. Just because you don&#x27;t understand something doesn&#x27;t mean the director is &quot;shooting from the hip and doesn&#x27;t know anything&quot;... and so what if Lynch is? He finds beauty in the subconscious and dreams and connects things together that don&#x27;t have an immediately obvious connection. To dismiss Twin Peaks (something which is awe-inspiring in the way it displays the raw power of human imagination) as &quot;a disaster&quot; to me means that the author has not really pushed themselves to expand their horizons.<p>International cinema constantly amazes and inspires me. I&#x27;ve been logging 50+ movies a year for 7-8 years now and all the time am enjoying and finding more enrichment in it. That&#x27;s not to say it&#x27;s not valid for someone to not experience things the way I experience them, but this author speaks with an objectivity that really frustrates me.
