On the one hand, I agree that art should be analyzed, but on the other hand, Critics are the scum of the earth who do what they do because they failed themselves as creaters. So, I don't like to defend or agree with them.
Basically, the point I've come to in all discussions like this is that all films are some one's fantasy. If you enjoy said fantasy, good on you. If you don't, well, then it's just not for you. Like, there's absolutely nothing on earth that I could gain from the sex and the city movie except for blood gushing out my nose, so i just ignore it. Why be bothered by something that was very obviously not designed with my particular demographic in mind. I could go further into this theory, but it is one of my many theories, that although I have put alot of thought and time and effort into them, gets reacted to with a knee jerk "that is not politically correct so I must hate him now."
Now, I also think the over thinking it people are also scum. Perhaps they and the critics should all be shot into space with a rocket headed for the sun.
And, for all my new found live and let live attitudes about movies, I am still me, and I have been having a rip roaring good time hating the fuck out of Avatar. So, you know, old habits die hard.
