I read all these reviews from critics and can't connect with any of them. Sometimes they are very accurate in their reviews, sometimes not so much. But there is one thing that the critic lacks - humanity.
As I have begun to see, no film is flawless, yet by critics, they are treated as though the should be. But I wonder if the flaws of a film are part of why we can connect with them? If we as humans, are flawed and imperfect, then even our artwork will be, in some capacity, flawed.
Critics look at movies from a critic's perspective, not from a human perspective, not as a weak, vulnerable, faulty, real person with feelings and emotions. Films were made for people not critics. So why do we rely so heavily on their opinions? Because we have no human voice to listen to. I'm not saying I expect this blog to become some huge thing that "speaks for the people," but you should know that the reviews on here come from someone who watches and appreciates films from a human perspective. These are reviews from an ordinary person.
