Art or businness??

Art or business??

Today I will try to differenciate comercial movies from art movies. When we go to the cinema and pay to see the latest sequel, superhero or whichever star´s latest movie (or all of the above) are we truly witnessing art or simply making someone rich??? Although some commercial movies are actually good (not the mayority) is it accurate to say they are art?? Is pure entertainment art??

I, for one, think that an art movie is the one that is made for the pure fulfillment that it brings to both the viewer, but mostly to the creator, without any expectations on making a profit out of it. This is the reason why so many commercial movies are not considered good movies by many movie buffs. Even though they may not lack in entertainment value, they are mostly made to gain money.

Having said that, it is also important to note that not all independent movies are good movies. The art of moviemaking requires so many skills and characteristics that it is very hard for a film to accomplish all of these. Most movies don´t, and so they are judged by how much they get close to achieving perfection.
At the end, it all comes down to a personal opinion. The common moviegoer might regard a film as good quality, depending on what they are looking for: laughs, screams, tears or just a way to spend some time. That is where the art of a moviegoer gets its role. It is not only the art of laughing, screaming or crying, but the one of appreciating every little detail and every single frame that is presented to us viewers on the big screen.
