Andrew Sarris and Pauline Kael debate The Auteur Theory

[misterthingy]

Pauline was a great film critic.

I tend to agree. But my instincts tell me kael has more character than those others. Ebert...is just a bafoon frankly. He just doesn't "get it."

sarris is crap

[monk22yrs]

@gracer99 sarris is crap, so is kael, and roger ebbert, and practically every professional critic.

sarris never included the following in any best film of the year list: THE GODFATHER, GODFATHER 2, FRENCH CONNECTION, and lots other classic movies....there's a list of junk he liked online.

kael is another one who was a snob & dope---prefering BILLY JACK to DIRTY HARRY.

this video is nuttily funny, as though it's two computers debating, after uploading millions of words from sarris & kael

@monk22yrs

You obviously never read Kael then. If there was anything she was against it was snobs. There are many intellectual movies, Hiroshima Mon Amour and La Dolce Vita that "snobs" eat up and that she didn't buy into. Please do your research before you showcase your ignorance. Please Please, because you are the epitome of youtube and the less I see of it the better, especially on these types of videos. Critics are important, but your criticism I could care less for.

Best film of the Year... Since those movies all came out in different years, I have to wonder if you meant something else or didn't connect that.
