Or: how i learned to stop worrying and watch the bad films.

You must recognize that you have seen a movie that made no sense to you, didn't like it or hate it to the core. Whether you hated a great film because you didn't understand it, didn't liked the adaptation of the book or because you have a small mind not capable of bigger thoughts (if that one is the case, this article doesn't apply for you), or you are so elevated and wise about the art of films that some of them just seem like shit, we should all learn from the mistakes. Before you hire a hitman to kill the director of the film or burn your DVD read this and hope that these points stick in your mind.

-The director isn't always the one that ruins the movie.

The awards to best movie is given to the producer, not the director, that is why there are awards for the best directors.
If the director is also the producer, then he can do whatever he wants, but if it's not, the authority is the producer, and so the producers can change the script how much they want or change the movie once is filmed. Sometimes they are very flexible and are more interested in art and let the directors and writers be, but when it's not it may result in most of the book adaptations you probably didn't liked. Who knows the script? you can't know if the movie sticks to the script faitfully, because the producers often change the script by their own according to their criteria: "What is going to sell more?, Is this too much? This is needless, there's something missing, There is not enough budget..."
The final cut often is far away from the original script. This is not necesarily bad, it can even improve the movie. The writers write the script, get paid and don't do anything else (unless the writer is the director or he asks the writer for something) while most of the directors make the possible to get what they want, not always achieved.

-They don't make the movies for you

Certainly not. IF you have that idea, wipe it out from your mind. No one of the filmmakers know your name, story or if you are going to like the movie. If they care about money more than filmmaking, perhaps they know you have money to see or buy their movie. Do not hate a filmmaker because you didn't liked its movie, well, shit... do it, but do not ever expect something good or bad from a new movie, it might seem great but is an actually piece of good ol'watery sour hot diarrea that everyone is watching because it's overvalued or someone is getting paid to talk nice about it; it might be the opposite too: something most people don't like or just don't watch because they are busy watching the diarrea or other films or you don't want to watch because you are ashamed or you have a prejudice and going against your expectatives you realize it is a good or not as bad movie [personally the first one happened to me with Transformers (5): The Last Knight and the second one with Star Wars VII: The Force Awakens] And of course sometimes we get what we expect [like me: expected shit from the new Wonder Woman movie and got shit, or Alien: Covenant, expected gold, got gold].
Unless your name appears at the end of the credits along with "thanks to..." or "dedicated to..." or "in loving memory of our fallen friend..." be sure the filmmakers do not seek to please YOU.

-All movies deserved to be watched and analyzed

As a filmmaker, i have to know what i want, BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY what i do not want. The knowledge i have acqired and so do experts is to watch many times the good films to disarm the movie and know "What makes it good?". But there is also another question at this: "What makes it bad?". By watching the bad films, shit, good ol' watery sour hot diarrea or whatever you want to call it, we get the dirty knowledge and the really important stuff. You might not know what do you want exactly, but just by knowing what you don't want gives you some kind of reduced and simpler options. We use this to know what makes a scene bad and avoid it. All films deserved to be watched, i am sure every good ol' diarrea hides somewhere a pinch of good and viceversa, and yeah, we can learn from it too as well as the ton of things that are wrong, like the most recent Tarantino's film "The Hateful Eight", in my personal opinion it has some good cinematography and dialogues but everything else is just nice-warm-poop + another Tarantino's failed try to make Spaghetti Western, but thanks to this bad movie and Crazy Quentin's will to risk we know NO ONE can do spaghetti western if it's not Sergio Leone (R.I.P.).

Western films, eastern films, new and old, shit and gold, movies or TV series, gosh even the anime deserves to be watched and analyzed to determine what makes it good and what bad. Do not be picky, for the sake of love, cinema and its family deserves it.

Damn...
