I have to agree with Ebert. No other art form appeals to the senses, transports the audience, or engages feelings of empathy quite like cinema. The problem is the quality and the craft has deteriorated over the years. Movies today just don’t have the same appeal that they once did. The craft has been tainted by technology and corporatization. Less art. More commerce.
that's a personal thing some people can't even imagine images in their head. Nothing in this world should be judged based on how it impacts only a small percentage of people. It's pointlessly cruel. "The best thing for a human to experience something in the world is something most people can't even experience" just think about how you're viewing this
@@Disconnected66 I love the empathy and care for another’s limited experience that you’re advocating for protecting. There are moments, smells, and memories that no movie will ever match. It’s a gift to even be counted among you. The eyes are the window to the soul.
Nah, the case to be made for literature being much more compelling and inspiring than films is highly superior to Ebert's Argument. Personally, I believe Experiencing crime and punishment for the first time is equivalent to watching every Dreyer, Weerasethakul, and Kazan film altogether (my favorite directors)
it's not why. It's not why anymore than the dinner you ate 8 years ago is the reason you're not hungry right now. It's part of why. A very small part of why. Some things can impact someone in a major way, but most things are small impacts that help mold. Don't give credit to random shit like movies for major parts of your personality and ability to be a humans.

Movies? No. Books? Yes. No movie compares to the images created in my head from a good book.

I watch/ed a lot of movies and have great empathy for those around me. I have to wonder if this is why.

I've had far more books lead me to movies than movies lead me to books. Btw, this was recorded before Ebert had his recollection.
