“ Ideological meaning and agendas are not incidental to thrilling films and cinematography. Why surgically remove politics from a discussion of a film’s final quality, rendering the argument so purely aesthetic that it becomes low-brow decadent … . Ethical lapses or gaps in movies should be critiqued, along with bad performances or absurd storylines.
