What makes a good film?

Friday 27th July 2007

What makes a good film?
A good film consists of good directing, good acting and overall a good theme or storyline.
There are also additonal components that make up the film and determine whether it is a good film or not such as the content eg violence, drug use, sexual reference and so on.
Plus the format or style the film is executed by eg does the film use contemporary and edgy camera movement/angles/techniques? Or is it slow and tedious?
For me the time duration is also a key part of what makes a good film eg must be longer than 1 and1/2 hours but no longer than 3 hours (maximum).
But overall the ending must be a definite end.

I forgot to ask why the length is of such importance?
