Everything is political. Even when looking at a light hearted comedy, there are political elements that engulf the film. “Cinema/Ideology/Criticism” by Cornolli and Narboni explains this.

They did not make a political statement, but it is shown in their actions. A political theme across our films and…

There is no doubt that Turgenev had reformist tendencies; he moved amid the circles of the Russian intelligentsia (Freeborn 1994, 39), which would have in turn born some influence on him. Since the 1860s, however, Turgenev’s work has met with criticism revolving around ideology versus poeticism, and at the center of this argument is Bazarov. In regard to this controversial character, Turgenev said, ‘in the main character, Bazarov, there lay the figure of a young provincial doctor that struck me’…

This sentence, apparently simple, contains an extensive meaning. Flaubert wanted to create a masterpiece in which every topic was…

believable, but rather he is a distorted and exaggerated representation of Leibniz designed to make fun of the German philosopher. Pangloss is shown to be flawed in his philosophy in many ways by Voltaire throughout Candide in order to emphasize his criticism of optimism. First his philosophy goes completely against what happens to him and the people around him in the real world. This shows the difference between action and theory, while Pangloss may believe in the best of all possible worlds,…

think the “Siskel & Ebert Halloween (1978) Review” is New Criticism. Both of the critics are more interested in the art form of film and see all the aspects taken to make it. They want the music, actors and concept of the movie to make you feel as if you could be a part of the movie yourself. They like movies that aren’t cookie cutter versions or a “freak-show”. Your second paragraph about “Honest Trailers – 300” also involved New Criticism. I really liked the point you made to back this up. The…
