  1. "Art is a selective re-creation of reality according to an artist’s metaphysical value-judgments." I really hope this is natural to everyone on this forum. A painting is art, a sculpture is art and a film is as well. The film Inception is art...bad art. The lead character (Leonardo DiCaprio) and his accomplices have a machine and the ability to act within the dreams of others. DiCaprio had the gift of altering dreams of others very successfully and used this skill to con ideas out of important men, businessmen. Dishonourable, a cheat and a second-hander. The main character (con man) evaded reality his entire life with his wife because it was apparently greater, similar to drinking and doing drugs. His wife dies and he endures great guilt over her suicide. Good art is supposed to display how man SHOULD be, not naturalism or that man is evil and would use such tools to sacrifice others to his needs, forcefully. Man should be good, have integrity, confidence and be heroic. The movie was too long, had too many explosions and unfortunately the world is raving about it be the greatest movie ever made. Rob Roy, Star Trek, Good Will Hunting to name a few contrasts Art is important to a person's life, it influences and ignites one's values and Inception should spark rage within any mind that chooses to think.
