Let me start off by saying no this is not in reference to anyone in particular but instead a topic of interest and a way to have discussion based on "objectivity" and how I personally view and critique films/art. An example of objectivity would be "this is a cake, or this is a video game" and then the validation of that objective statement would be whether or not that is indeed what I claim it to be. The simplest way I would describe being objective in reviewing art would then be "describing what is". Such as "this is a game, it has 'this' " And then you can expand upon that in interesting ways, "this is why it works, this is why it doesn't work" then of course elaborating further as needed. Well how about objectivity versus subjectivity? Alot of people will claim objectivity in art is impossible as it's all subjective. I personally find that a bit shallow and boring of an argument but to disprove it let's say we're reviewing a game. Is there not anything objective to review? Well of course there is! Probably the simplest being framerate, the higher the framerate the faster the response time, ect. And you can review as such "This game has a consistent framerate and it runs well" that is objective because either it does or doesn't, and it affects whether a game is good or not. The same goes with the resolution, "This game only runs at 144p", imagine being interested in a game only to find out if it runs at 144p, you'd be like "Oh...". But then what if someone goes "Well I like playing games as 144p so you're not being objective." A simple destruction of this argument and similar arguments are that they are using preference to dispute objectivity. So at this point you may be thinking 'how does objectivity in a games hardware correlate to objectivity in a games story or even in a films'. Well my main point being that objectivity does indeed exist in art, I just used framerate and video quality as a a simple example as such. And if objectivity does exist in some practical manner why then can't we also use the same objective viewpoint when reviewing a films story, or it characters. "This character does this, this is bad because it's apposing to characters morals, motives and is contradictory to past actions by this character and is never explained in the film" Let's translate that to something real "Luke Skywalker considers killing Kylo, his own nephew. Even if it was for a split second, this instance is antithetical of everything he believed and fought for during his previous film appearances and The Last Jedi never had the time or opportunity to set this up properly or in a way that made logical sense" (insert conclusion statement I'll definitely write later)
