But are those very rules not a reflection of the society they emerge from. And isnt the pushing of those limits not the revolutionary act we see within art then. And that to me is a good reflection of society.
I dislike hyperrealism. Hell, I despise it.
People critiquing, 'oh but that gunshot was so unrealistic' etc piss me right tf off.
Fhe message underneath the text can be parsed through art no matter the restrictions. And these formal restrictions allow creativity. Just as the limitations of the medium itself does.
When we look back at cinema of that era, we analyse it knowing the hays code existed, not in a vacuum.
