The two ways Denby puts forward for looking at film is that movies should be complex in order to show what life is really like. While another view is that film should teach a moral lesson about whats right. I personally think that the best method to take in movies is the first approach since people are see and hear about things like violence, murder, etc all the time and would be used to seeing it. While it’s good to see criminals punished it’s equally useful to see how life really works rather then simply showing everything perfect and without any complexity.
