It's The Duty Of Art

Pornography, It Seems To Me, Is No Different From War Films Or Propaganda Films In That It Tries To Make The Visceral, Horrific, Or Transgressive Elements Of Life Consumable.

It Is Boring To Have All The Answers. Only Political People Have Answers.

Even The Most Elitist Director Or Author Who Claims That He Doesn't Care If His Works Are Seen Or Not, Then I Have To Think That He's Either A Liar Or A Hypocrite.

If A Director Says He Doesn't Care How Many People See His Films At All, I Simply Don't Believe Him. Otherwise Why Would He Bother To Make The Film? The Only Explanation Would Be That It Would Be An Act Of Masturbation. I Think That Every Creator Is Looking For A Receptor. He's Looking For An Audience. There Are Two Parts Of The Equation: A Creator And, Necessarily, The Receiver Of The Work. It's The Same Thing For A Painter Who Wants His Paintings To Be Seen.

Films That Are Entertainments Give Simple Answers But I Think That's Ultimately More Cynical, As It Denies The Viewer Room To Think. If There Are More Answers At The End, Then Surely It Is A Richer Experience.
