"Film theory is philosophy, and people have made the same criticisms of philosophy for years," Branigan says. "They say, 'What relevance does philosophy have to the real world? It's merely idle thought, personal feeling, pointless speculation.' If we listened to them, we would do away with teaching and studying the works of Plato, Aristotle, Descartes, Kant, Wittgenstein and Sartre. Do we really want to do that? I think not."
The response of all who can not defend the indefensible: you just don't understand, because it's too deeeep for you, maaan.
It's not philosophy. It's garbage. Great article, Bill.
