True Art

To me film is art. However, not all art is created equal. Anyone can create art with whatever means they choose, whether it be with a video camera, a pencil, a pen, paint, computer equipment, anyone can create art. True art however is something else entirely. True art is when you see it and are moved to feel emotion by whichever way it grabs your heart whether that be what it looks like, the meaning behind it or something it says to you that maybe only you can hear. True art speaks to you, although that same piece might not speak to the person sitting or standing next to you in the gallery. Art, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder. If you see it as art then it is art. True art moves the soul.

Film moves my soul more than any other art form. Literature and other more traditional concepts or art can also move me but not to the same level or on so many occasions as film does. Film, to me, is the truest art there is. It has the power to move to me tears on so many occasions. It reaches for my heart and refuses to let it go again. The most powerful is animation, animated film moves me to my very core. The films of Disney, Studio Ghibli, PIXAR nearly all have the power to move me to tears. However, few move me to a point where I just sit there afterwards and take it in. To name a few, Lilo and Stitch, Dumbo, Your Lie in April all move me to a point where I am unable to literally move from my seat or think about anything else, let alone watch anything else.

They move me to create my own art, they evoke emotion in me that few other things can. Film moves me to the point where I can't take it anymore. To the point where I hurt so badly that I can no longer stand watching it anymore (talking to you Dumbo). Maybe it's because they touch a raw nerve but I'm not entirely sure what they have in common apart from being animated. They make me think and feel the way that nothing else can. I believe that is the marking of true art, at least for me anyway.
