OP literally asked "Who saw it" and you respond "Haven't seen it, don't plan to, don't care tbh" and then give an opinion...
Unreal.
Because OP literally only asked who's seen it all the answers here are plain yes/no ay?
This "you have to experience something to comment on it" is liberal individualism anyway. I don't have to be a farmer to comment on the impact of climate change on farming or climate change more broadly.
You'd have a point if I had commented on the movie's writing, aesthetic, picture, acting performances, score, etc. But I didn't. I made a general point about the nature of cultural products under capitalism and the laws that govern this movie as much as any other.
If you haven’t seen it and don’t care about it, then how are you able to discuss anything within the movie and give your opinion on its content?
Imagine a film critic giving his opinion and in the end saying “I actually didn’t watch the movie”.
You are just formulating an opinion based off of what you’ve heard other people say, and it comes across as pretty foolhardy and arrogant.
The farmer example is also not applicable at all, because that’s still something you can research and find data on independently. You can’t independently gather data or an opinion on a movie. Unless you read the plot summary I guess, but that competently destroys the point of it being a movie.
No investigation, no right to speak.
And no, reading the plot summary or watching a YouTube analysis isn’t investigation.
I watched the 45 minutes long Ben Shapiro video, can I criticize the movie?
That is excellent investigation comrade. Everyone knows that Comrade Shapiro's analyses are so bulletproof and awe inspiring and you don't even need to watch the movie after listening to him.
Eh, had a response for you but clearly by your post history it would have been a waste of time. You don't get it and you won't. Take care.
