I don't think people big up a film because it's 'fashionable' ... i think they're most likely to big up a film because they like it.

They do overhype films when they come out, but anything still widely regarded as a masterpiece 30 years later likely does have real merit.
Same with most things. People still buy tickets for Montiverdi operas written 400 years ago. It's not because of fashion. I'd hazard a guess that few if any west end musicals will still be put on in another 400 years, but Montiverdi (as an example) will still be staged.
Well, he can use a panda, if he likes, but if he wants people to communicate what he means, it's worth picking one the reflects his meaning. The emperor's new clothes is about people heaping praise on something that is completely hollow, empty and void. Oh, and the people who like it are easily lead idiots.He used the words "To me ...", so surely he can use any allegory he likes? If it really was an allegory that is.
Ok, so you think it's ok.I wasn't referring to the film, I referring to people's public perception of it
Oh, and "Lost In Translation"
Great film.
Only two cinema exits ever; Twister, complete and utter feckin nonsense and Reservoir Dogs, horrible film.
I'd rather not say anymore - I've been beaten down enough thanks
Oh this is an old thread, I've already said it's good. Lost in Translation that is...
You need to pick a different allegory then. The emperor was naked in that story, not just dully dressed.
