And others don't. That doesn't mean I won't watch 'em. It just means I don't like them as much as better Westerns, by my judgment, not because of politics, per se, but because they don't treat human beings like human beings. And those movies tend to be a kind of shallow, by the nature of that call, I think (although you can have depth to your thinking about capital punishment that doesn't result in a "noone ever gets killed" line of reasoning, I think, but it usually is prefaced with, "when there really is no other option" in its logic).<BR/><BR/>That's why I think you can call good movies as good movies, independent of genre. Because good movies have something to contribute beyond entertainment or appealing to our baser insticts. Se7en appeals like crazy to peoples' baser instincts. It also has a lot to say beyond that, I think, which is why I rank it as one of the finer thriller/horror movies I've ever seen.<BR/><BR/>I don't always have to agree on the finer points of a film or book or other literary work to appreciate it as strong. But I do think some fundamentals like a sense of humanity need to be present for me to make that call.<BR/><BR/>I better get to work:).Ben Sutherlandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14193389264010365448noreply@blogger.com
