You’re right. A film can only do ONE thing right, and that thing is storytelling. Every other aspect of film-making MUST be ignored if a film’s story is anything short of innovative.
Yes, as it would seem – in a remarkable instance of coincidence – every technically revolutionary film in cinematic history had an equally brilliant plot. For this reason, no film-maker ever saw fit to look at a film for reasons other than story, and so no film with an non-innovative story – or for that matter, no film with a poor story – ever made an impact on the medium. Every film-maker ever only payed attention to the movies with the most daringly new plots, because they were absolutely sure those films could do no wrong, and for this reason, films are really no different from talking books.

EDIT: P.S. also, though painfully predictable and cliche ridden, the love and resistance stories of Avatar fall into the “tried-and-true” category. Bill_Murray_Fan_7383 edited this message on 12/20/2009 3:53AM |
