If there’s no way to objectively rate an actors performance, why are there acting schools? Why are there film schools?

Sounds like a conspiracy. We should ask Tactical Shit.

Just because you can teach someone to do something that doesn’t automatically mean that you can also objectively evaluate whatever he/she does in the end. I can teach you how to make a pizza, despite not having an objective measure to evaluate the pizza quality.

Acting and film schools don’t give out grades or diplomas? Interesting.

OPRAH: You get a diploma! And YOU get a diploma!

I get it now. Everyone is an expert on everything and all opinions are equally valid. So my opinion on how to build a bridge is just as important as the opinion of a professional architect, even if my design would collapse, but hey, in my opinion a bridge doesn’t need to be stable, it’s all subjective.

An architect’s design would collapse as well. That’s why we only let them design unimportant things like where to put interior doors and what color the walls should be.

They do but that doesn’t mean it was evaluated based on an objective measure. It just means it was a subjective evaluation.

Unfortunately you don’t get it. Even if it is an subjective evaluation (because for a certain thing there is no objective measure) it doesn’t mean all subjective evaluations should have the same weight.

And your example is very bad. Design and statics are two different things. Former is completely subjective, while the latter has objective measures.

So there’s a technical aspect to architecture, just like there’s a technical aspect to acting, just not as big.

So what aspect of acting is technical and most importantly what is the objective measure for that aspect?

What do you mean surprisingly? It would be surprising if I didn’t speak the truth.

Hayden Christiansen’s performance in Episode II is the cinematic equivalent of a collapsing bridge.

You should ask an acting teacher for this. I am not that arrogant to think I know more than someone who studied a topic for years.

This is a great topic.

Or maybe it’s a terrible one.

I don’t know what to think anymore.
