Is pro wrestling art?
Posted by Victor Khomenko on January 29, 2010 at 14:31:50:
Given the simple primitives from which a typical western is assembled, it does not raise to status of art... good artisanship, yes. Which is not to say someone might not try to bring art into this simple endeavor, but that would be a great exception rather than a rule, and I don't recall any such work. The theme or courage alone is not much, and it is easy to be courageous when you can fire twenty shots from a six-shot revolver and hit thirty bad guys.
Seriously... most of all it reminds me of pro wrestling. A tad above, yes... :)
