I don't typically come down in complete agreement with Scott, but I must
concur with him on this point. Does anyone of full mental capacity actually
think that any film is a true representation of life? The entire process,
from the formulation of the idea to the rolling of the credits in the
theater, is fully synthesized and orchestrated to be a representation of an
aesthetic sensibility. Even a documentary is a caricature of its subject,
rather than the subject itself.
To infer something about Scott's sex life or pugilistic history on the
basis that he rejects films as an objective account of the "realities of
life" is nonsensical (and, I hasten to add, Postmodernist drivel!)
Dave!
