It may not even be directed at you at all, but I am constantly discouraged how so many people don't seem to be able to see certain strengths in a film because it has, or they believe it has, weaknesses in story or something else.Actually this could be directed at me John.
I am one who has a hard time seeing the merits of In the Bedroom. But I did follow your analysis with interest. It provided me with insight and an appreciation for what I had missed before. All to the good.
My problem is that I don’t like the film enough to be able to concentrate on the positives of the cinematography without the help of an analysis of someone like you. And there is no way that I would want the thread to become a discussion on the (other) merits of the film. So I just kept quiet.
And gathered the fruits of your work.
Would that I could have joined in—but I just had to watch this one from the cheap seats.
