This no longer exists. The culture of independent film criticism has totally gone down the drain and this seems to come with the territory of the consumer age that we are now living in. So I thought the debate about a set of principles for critics was amusing. I can share their anger, but on the other hand I don't think a code of ethics for critics is going to solve the problem. Yes, I think so.
Film is a very, very powerful medium.
It can either confirm the idea that things are wonderful the way they are, or it can reinforce the conception that things can be changed. Entertainment today constantly emphasises the message that things are wonderful the way they are. But there is another kind of cinema, which says that change is possible and necessary and it's up to you. Any film that supports the idea that things can be changed is a great film in my eyes. It doesn't have to be overtly political.
