As a new art form (on timescales of the History of Philosophy) I haven't read any good philosophical contemplations on understanding and judging movies. So I thought I'd ask two questions:
Do you have a recommendation for someone that directly tackles the question of beauty, or just the aesthetic judgment, of movies?
How is it that you approach the judging of movies?
Huxley, just in passing, the fields of semiotics often raise interesting insights into films and similar types of mediums. Anyway, here's a few links that might begin to serve an interest:
Film-Philosophy
Philosophical Films
Philosophy of Film (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)
Philosophical Films
Surrealism and Dada Aesthetics and Philosophy of Film
Finally, here's a great essay I think you should enjoy and one which led me onto the road of discovering Baudrillard a few years back:
Walter Benjamin
Indeed, check out this wiki on the fellow himself:
Walter Benjamin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Well, I hope that gets the proverbial ball rolling. Good luck in your own pursuits and enquiries
