Welcome to the Comment Lounge.
Join us (Andy, Joshua, and Paul) as we discuss all things art, photography, and cinema. We spend our days editing and shooting photos and video. In between gigs and rendering we end up talking and debating and figured why not record some of it and bring you along on the discussions.
In this episode we are trying to figure out what the difference is between a movie and a piece of cinema - a flick or film. Can movies be shifted from movie to cinema?
Along the lines of cinema we chat about comedy having its place under the title of being ‘cinema.’ Does it have to be a dark comedy or cane a purely funny comedy be considered high cinema?
Something that is fairly common with comedies is puerile content. Can a movie attempt at being considered ‘cinema’ if it has too much puerile humor? What is the line between useful and going overboard?
To round out this discussion we then look at how cinema is honored by examining awards shows and their relevance. Are these awards a good indicator of what the best of the best is for the year? What good comes from the Oscars, the Golden Globes, and others aside from people patting themselves on the back?
We finish up the episode with a couple lightning round questions.
So join us in the lounge but don’t let the discussions end with us. Keep the comments coming through our various locations.
We’d love to hear from you on these topics and so much more.
Andy, Joshua, and Paul
