In Reply to: Don't you get it? Sean Penn, Tim Robbins and Kevin Bacon practically *stink* of high art... ;-) ... nt posted by clarkjohnsen on March 17, 2005 at 11:20:36:
I don't know what the fixation on the truth-value of the word 'high' is here. All that means to me is that it achieves an exceptional standard of quality relative to other works, such that it may be called exemplary--or 'high.' Isn't that the argument being made here, that Mystic River so excels?So what's the problem? I don't think Mystic River is exceptional. I think it pretends to be the sort of movie that should be exceptional by dressing itself in all manner of affected gravitas. What is not to understand about that? Why are you both hung up on this term in exclusion to the rest of the argument?
