Art Should Take Precedence Over EVERYTHING
There, I said it.
Anyone who disagrees has NO business on a film chat site. ππΏπ
I agree with your sentiment but the reality is I have two kids, a wife and a mortgage and the electric company has never once paid itselfπ
shareYou agree? I thought you'd seen too much of real life to agree with that troll statement!
Because anyone who's seen the ugly side of real life knows that if you're ever trapped in a burning car, held hostage by a gunman, or diagnosed with a life-threatening illness, you will realize that the firemen, police, or doctor who could save your life matter at least as much as art. Art may make life worth the effort of living, but other things matter as well.
I'm talking about the creation of art. Not whether artists are more valuable to society than doctors or other lifesavers (they're not).
Yes, my statement is a bit of trolling, but it's in reference to Disney's decision to censor The French Connection. They're putting other considerations ahead of *art* and that's what angers me, and it's why I talk about the primacy of art.
But I'm not *that* absurd. I don't think art is more important than more immediate concerns, like medicine and nutrition.
Eh, I was playing along with the poster, he was obviously being a bit βjokeyβ as well.
I do agree though that art should generally be admired and I admire artists for the most part.
Thanks Shogun. I think you understand where I'm coming from (and that I'm not always to be taken literally).
shareSure, I got itβοΈ
Your second sentence with the angry face punching emojies was a clear indicator that you were half goofing but I do agree art is important.
Itβs why many of us are hereβ¦and also to discuss the best brand vacuum or worst asshole at work or whatever lol.
