Chapter 4 of, A short Guide to Writing About Film, is titled, Six Approaches to Writing about Film. In this chapter, the author talks about national cinemas. He says that a writer should know something about the society and culture India to be able to correctly analyze an Indian film. Once this is said, the author says that once an individual is able to understand the culture of other societies, then they will be able to understand there culture and be able to analyze it. If a person criticized a certain film or any type of cultural aspect from another culture, then they would never be able to do it without being biased. They would be biased because they would only have their own personal culture to judge the films too. They would compare it to what the critics culture says is what and how a film is made, and how it is composed. I feel that for a person to be a successful critic, if they want to pursue it as a career, then they must first have a great understanding about how many different types of cultures there are in the world.
