Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

Well, now you are changing your words... and more than once

First you said there was no change in character, then that the character is not important... which is it?

So... no change in character means something is not done right? OK... what about the hero of WIld Stawberries? How much does HE change in the course of the film?

Fact is, the movie is not a sum of its parts, much like the painting is not the collection of faces on it. The movie as art form is about the means of creating the mood, the atmosphere, the emotion, the message sometimes, etc, etc. Most of these are present in Barry Lyndon, making it not just a representation of some societal trends at the time of Barry's life, but a great MOVIE.

And a great movie can be done with many parts you mentioned even present. If I were to adapt your logic then the Persona would be an awful waste of time.
