Re: Hot Toys – MMS183 - The Dark Knight Rises: Bane Collectible Figure
You're entirely right of course, but you're preaching in the desert. Objectivity is a lost concept in our society, so it certainly is lost here.
I'm saying there's no such thing in art. Art is subjective. Not objective.
Ofcourse in factual things it's untrue. But stick within the subject, it was about acting. Which is an art form. Which is personal to everyone, hence the subjectivity. If somone says he likes something in art, or dislikes it, you can't say he's right, or wrong. All you can say is, I agree, or I disagree.
This obviously does not work the same with factual things, where things can be proven.
To prove my point: Someone could tell me Heath Ledger was terrific ( which I think he was ) and I could tell that person, I don't like it. Therefor, in my opinion, he wasn't terrific. And I would be right, but he would also be right. Art is subjective.
I strongly dislike Jack Nicholson's performance as the Joker for example, for my own reasons. But I would NEVER say he did a bad job, because that's my opinion, and it's subjective. As is anyone else's. No matter how good you try to build up your point to say he would be good, I could just say, I disagree. And I would be right, just like you.
Anyway, I thought we had dropped this.
EDIT: oh, and objectivity lost in this forum? You've got to be kidding me. The disliking of the Mark VII is for example very objective, because it does not represent what it should. It's not the same, because it's not art.
The Michael Keaton Batman is a terrific figure, because it represents the source material VERY closely. But if you for example don't like the figure, because of the design of said source material, you would be subjective in your opinion about the design, but still would have to be objective about how well made the figure is.
Hope I made sense.
