Very interesting. It's always such a shame though. I hate seeing wasted potential!<br /><br />Those are all really great examples.

Hahaha!<br /><br />In all seriousness, a bunch of movies and anime have. EVA was one when it came to anime since it started out great, but then that movie happened. I'd even say that one copycat movie would be a huge one since I used to love it as a child, but then I researched that one 60s anime series and got really uncomfortable with some of the racism, sexism, and protagonist centered morality in that movie that it left a sour taste in my mouth. Oh yeah, Blade Runner is a huge one. It's a great looking movie, but so many things were wrong with it.Curtis M.http://cmbbwrites.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7905416493038831261.post-20506199222388263332017-07-04T15:22:27.298-05:002017-07-04T15:22:27.298-05:00I definitely experience the "lied to" fe...I definitely experience the "lied to" feeling when I've watched documentaries or read articles with political bends.

I hear ya about people saying that others should like something or not.<br /><br />Thanks. I think it's an interesting point. It also links up to the art vs. product argument. Yes, something can be both. With that being said, I have this feeling of being "lied to" when it comes to certain forms of art.Curtis M.http://cmbbwrites.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7905416493038831261.post-51042368453681415652017-06-27T14:26:09.990-05:002017-06-27T14:26:09.990-05:00Popularity is a really interesting topic when it i...Popularity is a really interesting topic when it intersects with the quality of art. I think I might make a blog post just on that alone. Great point! Just because something is popular is by no means a message that "You should like this," nor is something being relatively unknown. In that respect, it's all a matter of taste. I always buck at someone trying to tell me I "should" like a certain work of art, as well!<br /><br />Honesty is a quality I didn't even think about when I was toying with the meaning/purpose of an art piece. Solid point. A meaning doesn't mean much if it's not made with honest intent.Jeannette Jonichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16223040243180418535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7905416493038831261.post-4607032037125890902017-06-23T20:15:37.569-05:002017-06-23T20:15:37.569-05:00I know we talked about some of those concepts in r...I know we talked about some of those concepts in real life, but this was a great article. <br /><br />There are objective factors such as technique, production, etc. for whatever genre of art is used.<br /><br />As I've mentioned, just because something is popular doesn't make it good and vice versa.<br /><br />Maybe for me, I believe good art is honest, has a good message done in a creative way, and has a decent amount of depth. It may not be the same when it comes to music or movies, but it depends on how the art is used and created.<br /><br />I also don't like being forced to like something. It just turns me off. I do admit that I tend to gravitate towards lesser known works (which is a main impetus for my Iridium Eye blog).Curtis M.http://cmbbwrites.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
