What makes a film good?
A film like most artforms is highly hard to interpret as good or bad due to every person’s unique perception and enjoyment of the film, much like all art forms as everyone will view the film differently but yet despise this I believe there are two main factors that can decide if a movie is perceived as good. Firstly I think that a movie can be judged as good due to how well it appeals to the mass audience; Films that are made to appeal to a mass audience and create a large box office or commercial success are known as ‘blockbusters’. These films utilize the micro and macro elements that will appeal to most people, generally speaking, this includes: keeping the style fairly simplistic, maintaining a chronological narrative, representation of both different races and cultures, and lastly the messages and values stay mainly straightforward and lean towards a moral conclusion. Examples of these such films are loved by many and consistently return a large profit, yet despite this more often than not the critic’s perception of these films does not share the same level of enthusiasm as these films rely on clichés and other techniques to grasp easy attention, and in doing so they lose artistic freedom and it may seem more like money grabbing than trying to spread a visionary idea of the film. However I believe it does not matter how well a film is received by the general public due to the fact I believe that a film is considered ‘good’ by many factors, the most important factor is seeing that the creative that planned the story has let his/her vision come to life. More factors of creating a ‘good’ film include when the acting, directing, writing, cinematography, and overall production value all come together to tell one cohesive, entertaining, and impactful story. In conclusion, a ‘good’ movie uses both micro and macro elements to create one piece of art created by the visionary, as a way of telling the world a story that correctly uses the beauty of motion picture to its fullest.
