    The Best of Me

    Reviewed by

    I've said it before and I'll say it again that it's often a lot of fun watching a film that is really bad. And Nicholas Sparks based movies usually fit into this category. My friends and I noticed from a young age that we were seeing some really bad flics so we started paying close attention to some ridiculous lines, jotting them down, memorizing them and then having a whale of a time throwing them into conversations... to the consternation of anyone around. Even if one watches an old chestnut like The Ten Commandments, one can fill a notebook of regrettable lines as that screenplay was bad, no horrifically bad. But those lines are great one liners, especially for a prof who loves to talk.

    Back to my original thought on The Best of Me. A film is a work of art like other art forms which must be judged from an objective point of view, not from an emotional point of view or your personal subjective nature. OMG, the tears, the flood of tears shed over this film could constitute a lake, but means absolutely nothing at all. People are rating this film a 10 because it made them cry. It's all a total absurdity and best not to argue with anyone of that ilk.

    So Cinema Clock is a handy tool as one can say whatever without being berated for it. How is it remotely rationale to critique a film with your heart, so to speak. That " certain crowd " consider a feature HIGH ART if it frightens them to death or leaves them in a pool of their own tears. It's all nonsense, but try and explain the concept of an honest review. I try with my students but, as the saying goes: "you win some and you lose some."

    Everyone is entitled to one's own opinion, but that hardly means that every opinion is a valid, honest one.
