making a movie requires two things.

  1. a camera
  2. editing
these are the only things unique to moving pictures. just think about what the camera is (or isn't) looking at and why. and why they are choosing to cut to the next shot.

simple and easy dude.

I am not going to go that far. I do think people can get overly focused on plot details when sometimes it isn't the point.

according to TC the only thing that matters for a visually-based art/entertainment medium that relies on storytelling and the quality of delivery of that story through the use of actors is actually the audio component of the movie and the angles at which scenes are shot

i don't think that's what i've said.

important things btw include rhythm, tone/mood, theme, character, and of course and most importantly visuals.

way more important than a movie's premise or plot. and if you're worth a shit the acting will be fine.

tc literally believes you can just produce a slideshow of van gogh paintings with a blue filter overlaid atop of it and metallica's black album in the background and that'll make for a good movie because the visuals are good.

it is unimportant

literally just get a good director and the performances will be good. watching movies specifically for actors is dumb as fuck. they don't edit. they don't write. they don't direct. they don't pick the shots. they do fuck all.

So acting is important. You are only saying actors are less important than directors, which I agree with

sure. fine. we can go with that. but really you can cast whoever. it doesn't matter. killers of the flower moon had people who had never acted before and it was fine. anyone think the acting was bad in that movie? no. you know why? because a good director/script will get a good performance out of anybody. they just don't matter really. and i'd never follow an actor around and watch their movies. cringe behavior.

Even if I pretend there's nothing wrong with you said here, you're not actually arguing that "acting isn't important". You seem to instead be saying that a good director can get good performances out of non-actors.

Killers of the Flower Moon would be noticeably worse if everyone sounded like they were reading off of cue cards.

This still all means that acting is important, but that great directors can get great performances out of anyone.

That said, there are still clearly some actors who are much better. Like PTA is great, but very few could have done what Daniel Day Lewis does in There Will Be Blood. Just one example.

You cannot separate the performance from the actor. A director can direct, but it is the actor who takes those directions and gives their character life. They are the one who determines how and where the performance goes. Scorcese could direct me and DiCaprio the exact same way and you would not get the same level of performance. To deny the skill and importance of acting is just foolishness.

was this opinion was generated by an algorithm as well?

I was trying to explain his viewpoint, which wasn't even what he started with. But I do agree.

I don't get this topic either.

I typically follow directors more than actors, but obviously actors are important too and vary wildly in ability. And TC's follow up comments make it clear that acting is important, as of course it is.

Plot and premise can certainly be important as well, but not always. And oftentimes, theme and tone are more important than plot, but not always. With a premise, the question is if it is executed well and lives up to its potential. But I will say that many movies that rely on the premise to get attention are often disappointments.

Any extreme statement about this topic will be inherently wrong, as all movies have different goals they are trying to accomplish.

I'd claim it's more hyperbole. TC does actually feel those things are less important than others, but I would be surprised if he truly thought them NOT important

I feel it is the best, but I can understand why others would choose TV, gaming, books, or music instead. They are have strengths and weaknesses.

you should consider watching good movies for a change. television and video games are both subpar at storytelling. worse than subpar really. will not comment on books as i am not well read but they seem ok i guess? probably better than tv and games.

I don't think I will. A lot of it is I can't focus on one thing for 90+ minutes and if we're talking modern movies - can't hear for shit

TV shows have been incredible for a long time now so long as they're not the standard network drama and sitcom trash

Animation has been outstanding as well for a good while now

Game writing is often bad, but their more interactive nature overrides that to an extent. Unless it's The Third Birthday bad it's probably good enough
