In chapter three of, "A Short Guide to Writing About Film", the author has a section titled, "Film and the Other Arts". In this section the author talks about the critical language of the other literary and visual arts. These arts that the author mentions are plot, character, and point of view. These three literary terms are things that critics critique. They look at these three things and decide how well each of them are in their mind. Each critic will have their own input on what they believe they see or feel while they are watching the film. Similar to what I said in a past post, each critic will have there own point of view of what the film will be like before they even watch it. I think that that is the worst way to critique a film, I believe that a person would have to watch a movie with a, "blank slate", so to speak, while they critique a film. If a person went in with an idea of the film before they watched it, then there idea of what the plot, character, and point of view will be skewed as they watch the film.
