I’ve only watched bits of the videos you attached and really have no desire to watch anything else they make. I mean if they discussed something I was interested in and were having an intellectual discussion over it I’d be very open minded to giving them a chance but they have opinions. That’s all these channels and people you mention have. Opinions. They may make points and have opinions I agree with sometimes but the difference is they aren’t film critics. They’re people with opinions who are sharing what they think of something without context to back it up. Context is really a key ingredient I think in understanding any type of art or anything for that matter and is lacking in our culture. Everyone can have an opinion but that doesn’t mean they’re right. However if you’re using factual evidence to try to understand something I’m more open to hearing what you have to say as I can tell you really care about what it is you’re talking about.
It’s okay. We can’t agree on everything. I wouldn’t ever want us to but I do encourage you to try giving Rick Worley a chance. I don’t think he’ll change your mind on the Prequels as you seem pretty set on your opinion on them as I am but I do think he’d help you see where I’m coming from with everything I’ve been saying lately. It’s worth a try at least I feel as it may encourage you to see another point of view to something you didn’t consider. He really researches what he shares instead of making assumptions off of what others tell him to think. He goes against the grain sometimes as evident by those who enjoy his takes and those that brush it off as whatever seems relevant to what he’s sharing.
Absolutely that can definitely be an issue. No story is without flaws or things we can fall back on and say personally we wish could’ve been done slightly better in some way, especially as we grow older and become more narrow focused but it’s not my story to tell. So I respect the storyteller telling the story as long as I feel they’re respecting me. George always respected me personally and for that I’m grateful. Others will feel differently but I don’t think the filmmaker is obligated to give you what you want. They have a vision if they’re working as an auteur or to a lesser degree been hired. You can choose if you want to watch it or not.
