The comment section in that article is cancerous. Lots of defending pedophilia in there. Ugh I feel dirty after reading through it.
There are two incels defending the pedo, not sure I'd call that "lots of defending".
Still a lot more than the preferred amount, which is zero.
Your original comment is still misleading.
I don't know about "defending pedophilia," but I would bring up "death of the author." There's no propaganda in the film, and horrible people can create incredible works of art. Art stands on its own own.
Was the dude the author? I thought he was just a director.
He's not even the director.
Oh shit I completely misread it. I'm tired.
I was referring to the concept from the essay, Death of the Author, not that the guy was the author.
Art cannot be divorced from its source - supporting one is supporting the other.
One of the early thought experiments in art history is this:
You're walking through a forest and come open a beautiful arrangement of rocks evoking a sweeping movement, like a bird's wing in motion. It look's artificial, but you can see that the rocks could just be there by an accidental result of nature. The effect is captivating, but you can't tell if it's man-made or not. Is it art?
The argument Barthes makes is that the meaning of art is always more a function of the interpretation by the viewer than the intention of the artist.
Koichiro Ito was the producer, NOT the director who is famous for creating those movies
