Description
Why It's OK to Love Bad Movies by Matthew Strohl is an exploration of the value of art and film. The author argues that conventional notions of "good" and "bad" are not always applicable, and that some of the worst movies can be among the most engaging.
Strohl examines a range of films, including Troll 2, Batman & Robin, and Nicolas Cage's filmography, to make the case that so-called "bad movies" offer unique opportunities for creative engagement and community building. By challenging traditional notions of artistic merit, Strohl reveals the importance of embracing all types of art.
This book is a thought-provoking exploration of the nature of art and its value in our lives. It will be of interest to anyone who has ever found themselves drawn to films that are not widely admired.
