if not everything can be art — you’re saying there should be an arbiter of what is and isn’t art, and they have to look at every single piece of art past, present and future and designate “art” or “not art”?
or are you saying the best way to understand art is to have a general consensus of the world population and designate what is art? Wouldn’t that give a massive amount of power to Asian sensibilities, which vastly outnumbers other ethnicities?
or are you saying that once somebody taped a banana to a wall, art is no longer possible, and thus neither Oppenheimer, Barbie, or indeed any other movie, poem, song, painting, play, dance, sculpture etc is art any more?
Both are brilliant in terms of making money and having an impact. Both are scandalous in terms of defining what is art. Personally, I love both of them for what they are.
In a world where taping a banana to the ceiling is considered art, Oppenheimer can be considered a masterclass in writing and cinematography.
I agree with you tho, good movie, but not great movie.
wasn’t the banana taped to a wall? I think the banana on the ceiling is still up for grabs
You’ll need a stepladder or something, though.
I can’t get a stepladder, my mom is still married to my real ladder.

Everyone talks about the banana on the wall and no mentions the Banksy painting that shred itself immediately after it was sold at auction.
