oh my god! youre right!
brb, its past my bedtime.
just because it has supposed artistic intention and is in the ~* criterion collection *~ doesn't make it immune to the criticism that it's an exploitative piece of trash, pasolini wasn't the only one making films in italy that decried the upper class by equating them to depraved fascists, he just went the furthest with it and thus got the most notoriety.
also, everyone that watch movies just because they're "really fukked up m8!!!" are idiots too, just sayin.
The first picture in OP. I thought it was the kid biting on a teabag
professor green. You realise all these comments don't actually mean anything to what your saying?
"its so beautifully made, such a great metaphor, because you can't see how deep and emotional it is doesn't mean its not"
:frog:
[QUOTE=BlueChihuahua;25581157]I find it amusing how when a movie is deemed 'symbolic,' suddenly it becomes some piece of profound art.
I'll make a film of a three-legged dog humping a tortoise on top of a pile of raw cow brains & claim it's a metaphor for abortion. It'll become a cult classic.[/QUOTE]
Yeah you could shit on a canvas and call it a critical metaphor of today's society and everyone would call it "Oh how deep!", "So genial!" and "It's pure art!".

Fun fact, some guy once framed an empty canvas and it was praised by critics all over.
Yeah, art these days is full of shit.
Mona Lisa isn't an amazing peace of art. Yet it is deep in metaphor.
I don't particularly care, but there are some that do

funner fact: i could tell what the artist had to say.

"it just is lol you just don't understand it"
apparently people getting tortured is art but I don't know how that would be
[QUOTE=acds;25618924]Yeah I can tell what they had to say too: Nothing.[/QUOTE]
nope! it was a comment on art itself. it was saying "look. i can get anything i want hung in a museum if i make it. nobody can say to me that this isnt art."

Art is isn't a blank canvas and a frame. It needs substance.
Substance eh?
Example?
[QUOTE=chunkymonkey;25621309]Art is isn't a blank canvas and a frame. It needs substance.[/QUOTE]
thats such an outdated view.
i could say that a mountain is art, and it would be art. why? because i called it art.
really, though, there's no way to argue this. art is such a nebulous concept that either one of us could be right. both of us are representing the extremes of the definition (you say that art requires purpose and "substance", i say art can be anything it wants to be), so the real truth lies somewhere in the middle?
puzzling.

The Sistine Chapel
[QUOTE=chunkymonkey;25621391]The Sistine Chapel[/QUOTE]
so all art needs to be full of effort?
what about found art? theres such a huge genre of artists who take mundane objects and set them up in a specific way and it is art and it gets put in museums.
art is more than what your old formal definitions say.

Not all the time but generally, yeah. The shit I took when I woke up took effort but I wouldn't call it art.
[QUOTE=chunkymonkey;25621391]The Sistine Chapel[/QUOTE]
That contains great types of art.
But Minimalism is also a type of art that is catching on.
were not saying that everything that takes effort is art, just that all art takes effort (or at least what youre saying). this is true, but "effort" could simply mean "i put in the effort to take this urinal and put a sign that says 'art' on it".
Like movies like this, it is a certain style conveyed in certain scenes giving off different vibes.
This isn't just about eating shit and eye gouging.

No, it's a bunch of lazy people who are tricking stupid people into thinking what they've made is worth a damn.
