    𝚁𝚞𝚋𝚒𝚗 𝚂𝚊𝚏𝚊𝚢𝚊‏ @rubinsafaya 12 Jun 2019

    Critic peeps (@mattzollerseitz, @szacharek, @thehighsign, @mangiotto, et. al.), is it fair to say the goal of film criticism is not to tell you what to think about a particular movie, but to encourage the reader to broaden *how* they think about movies and, by extension, culture?

        I don't know "goal", but it's one of the hopeful side effects for me.

        Well said. I was looking for a word that was less aggressive or off-putting than "purpose". I'll take the Danny-Devito-in-TWINS answer. 😎

        Absolutely. This is a big part of what @aoscott's excellent book on criticism is about: https://www.powells.com/book/-9780143109976 …

        Replying to @thehighsign @mattzollerseitz and

        Great recommendation! I also read a piece he wrote in the Times along a similar vein. I think connecting with the public is essential as there are so many forces, market, political, etc., that attempt to cast doubt on the importance of cultural commentary.

        I don't know about "goal"; isn't it simply the point? There's been a lot of talk about this in the context of Pauline Kael's centennial: How you might want to fight with her on the page, which was part of the joy of reading her. Engaging vs. dictating.

        Replying to @szacharek @mattzollerseitz and

        Engaging and debate for its own sake. Indeed. I'm essentially trying to formulate a concise statement that better reflects all this. I find a lot of people feel threatened by debate, as though it's an attack on their choices/tastes. Reframing it has helped. Thank you.

        This makes me think of one of my favorite Ebert quotes: "It's not what a movie is about, it's how it is about it."
