An elitist film for elitists? (Off-Topic)
by Kermit 
, Raleigh, NC, Tuesday, May 07, 2019, 10:08 (2025 days ago) @ Cody Miller
I'm talking about a kind of elitist audience, who believe that a sign of good art is that it makes statements about issues like, for instance, a wealthy ruling class.
If they make those statements well and in a culturally relevant manner yes. And last Jedi was so relevant it actually scared people when the message confronted them.
Okay, Jedi mind reader.
Its overwrought concern for "cultural relevancy" is exactly what will make it unwatchable down the road.
I have more to say. For instance, I have different expectations for different kinds of movies. For now I'll just say (on this point because it's only one of my criticisms) The Last Jedi is for a certain audience what most recent "Christian" movies are: pablum that makes its intended audience feel good about their moral superiority.
