Message: [QUOTE="diggerfoot, post: 3965031, member: 1673"] “Perfectly made” is hyperbolic phrasing to engage people. It implies no flaws, but what are the operational standards by which one can conclude no flaws were made? At least the phrasing “greatest” does not imply the movie has been empirically determined to contain no flaws. Either “perfectly made” would have to mean a very narrow standard that does not incorporate the large breadth of movie making, or I suspect there is no such thing as a “perfectly made” movie. If the former, then who decides what should be the particular attributes examined and which to be ignored in claiming perfection? If the latter, then why not use the more appropriate “greatest” movie claim as click bait, rather than “perfectly made?” Obviously the discussion on this thread has turned to people’s opinions of the best movies, which was inevitable and I suggest the intent of the hyperbolic phrasing “perfectly made” all along, since the “perfectly made” movie, void of standards for determining perfection, does not exist. In my attempt at wry humor I realize now I’m just being a “spoil sport,” so I’ll just bow out now. [/QUOTE]
