Importance of film reviews, and why filmmakers should welcome reviews
Film reviews are an essential part of the cinematic culture and industry. They provide valuable feedback to filmmakers, audiences, and critics alike. Film reviews can help filmmakers improve their craft, learn from their mistakes, and discover new perspectives on their work. They can also help audiences decide what to watch, what to expect, and what to appreciate in a film. Film reviews can also stimulate critical thinking, cultural dialogue, and artistic appreciation among critics and readers.
Therefore, filmmakers should welcome film reviews as an opportunity to grow, communicate, and engage with their audience and peers. Filmmakers should not see film reviews as a threat, a judgment, or a personal attack. Rather, they should see them as a form of constructive criticism, a source of inspiration, and a chance to learn from others. Film reviews are not meant to undermine or diminish the artistic vision or effort of filmmakers. They are meant to celebrate, challenge, and enrich the cinematic art form.
I understand that there exist unfathomable emotional ties between filmmakers and their films. This is due to many reasons; Filmmaking is a creative and personal process that involves many decisions and challenges. Filmmakers are emotionally tied to their films because they invest a lot of time, energy, and passion into them. They express their vision, values, and emotions through their films, and they hope to connect with their audience and make an impact. Filmmaking is not just a job, but a form of art and self-expression.
The above paragraph explains why it is often difficult for filmmakers to embrace reviews with an open heart. However, for the continuous health of the global filmmaking industry, reviews must be embraced and welcomed with sincere openness.
