Response to Feedback on Manifesto

Talking to the class wasn't bad. I generally write as if i'm speaking to an imaginary person. I didn't feel too energetic today so i didn't give it my all but other than that i think i did ok. Feedback varied from critiques on whether there could actually be film made for animals and not only humans, to whether movies are just for entertainment and how aware we are of the ideas that are embedded in all sorts of media. J Wiss. was particularly interested in the fact that i saw actors as a majority of the blame for bad movies. Which i still hold as true. Acting could truly make or break a film if editors or directors aren't skilled enough to cover it up. the audience could easilly be pulled away from a film because of it. After feedback i also found that i should clarify conflicts in my manifesto and elaborate further on what i want my movies to show. To clear up contradictions, i take back the idea of movies only being for pure entertainment. Every movie inevitably brings with it the personality of the director and the world he has perceived will hold many similarities to his own ideals and standards in life. It is just apparent that the time, thought, and personality that go into a movie show once it is released. This being said we make movies for people to help people, whether it be by making the audience laugh or even cause them to understand themselves better if only by watching how others interact. We are all subject to the world we live in whether we like it or not; it molds us. Understanding how others have coped with their own realities is the best way to find inspiration for dealing with our own. Movies entertain because they cause us to think.
