The machinations of a mischievous misanthrope with a penchant for peculiarities.
Simon's argument in a nutshell: all fantasy is bad, and only works within the movement of realism have insight into the human psyche worth the consideration of serious adults. Which is exactly the sort of sentiment that makes "serious" adults seem stuffy and unimaginative.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your insight. I see it as a bit ironic. In that Simon's argument essentially boils down to what the most ardent Star Wars fans say about the prequels. Flat characters, way too much CGI, and a poor story and character development, and over choreographed fight scenes. It is essentially similar to the gripes Red Letter Media had about Star Wars I-III.
