Movies Is film subjective or objective?

[I Fusion I]

What do you think? Are there technical factors or preference and taste is personal?




For example I am not big on some films and directors despite them being acclaimed

 

[Kung Fu Kowboy]

I subject myself to Salma Hayek movies to reach the objective

Objective. Because I object to dude hoggin all the Salma for himself.

 

[Spam On Rye]

Everyone has their tastes and memories that make them like certain things but great art is universal and will last as long as we can keep it.

 

[Fedorgasm]

Subjective. Because I subject my penis to all kinds of abuse when watching Salma Hayek movies.

Objectively objective.......... With foot juice

Does it really matter?

Shouldn't we all be out there trying to discover the truth behind nature and the universe?

To come to grips with the purpose of consciousness.

But alas, we toil away so that we can judge the next Super Hero movie.

Depends

It's a mix.

Outside of philosophical arguments that everything is subjective or objective in life. For pragmatic intents and purposes there are objectively bad movies and objectively good movies. However, if it's like "what's the best movie ever" that will be a very subjective take.

 

[Daverisimo]

Everyone who agrees with my opinions is objectively right. Everyone who disagrees is objectively wrong.

Q.E.D.

 

[Takes Two To Tango]

I think it's mostly subjective, because it's defined as art form. But it can be objective at times.

 

[Hellowhosthat]

Obviously entirely subjective.

 

[milliniar]

Subjective as a whole but you can point to most movies as an example to a movie objectively as part of a genee

 

[Jack Reacheround]

It is obviously subjective. It isn’t exactly math.

 

[Aegon Spengler]

Of course it's subjective but part of the art is making something so good that it feels objectively awesome.

Could you hate Terminator 2? Sure you could. But you don't, do you? And neither do I. We both love that movie. Why? I'm not you and you're not me.

Maybe because there's something objective in there?

Maybe because

The universe

has standards?

Film is subjective overall, but it sits on top of objective tendencies in how we respond to stories and sensory cues.

Our brains react in fairly reliable ways to certain patterns, lighting choices, music, pacing, and all the usual film tools that I won't pretend to know about. That goes for any art form, really. These can be combined in countless ways, and every viewer brings their own tastes and expectations to the table. As for what makes something subjective seem objectively good, I have no idea, but some seem to have it figured out.

Seems like an appropiate answer

No, that's as wrong as believing it is entirely objective.

There are objective qualities to any work of art. They can be mapped and diagrammed. Some works of art are objectively more complex; even if only in the technique of their production. If you try to argue that See Spot Run is as sophisticated as Hamlet, you are objectively wrong.

What is subjective is the judgment of how "good" or insightful or profound that makes the art.

Tbf I may have misread the initial post. Obviously it's not subjective if something is a silent movie or not for example.

To be fair ‘See Spot Run’ is pretty sophisticated for some of the people here..
