Paul Fox (@therealpaulfox.bsky.social) reply parent
I also bristle at the modern use of terms like "content" and "creator", which diminish the value of art and artists, lumping them together with things that don't qualify as either.
Paul Fox (@therealpaulfox.bsky.social) reply parent
I guess it's, in part, the ancient struggle between art and money, or something like that. I don't think the greatest artistic acheivements or innovations have been made by trying to find out what the majority of people want.

Hello from NZ Mark! We watched this last night and LOVED it! Note for anyone else seeing on Mubi: there were no subtitles for a part where someone speaks another language, and his words are (I felt) quite impactful to understand. Activating the subtitles manually in the player, they were translated.
