One of the brightest findings of the 20th century still applies in the 21st: “Do not trust any statistics you did not fake yourself. ” The insight is Winston Churchill attributed and is nowadays increasingly, we left us more than ever on statistics and surveys.
Now we therefore presents the BBC Poll “the 100 best films of the 21st century”. Although the 21st century is not over yet, but you just need a catchy title – “The 100 Best Films of the first Siebtels the 21st century” would indeed be correct but less pithy
The seventh winner, according to the BBC, is” Mulholland Drive “by David Lynch. It is followed by “In the Mood for Love”, “There Will be Blood”, “Spirited Away”, “Boyhood”, “Forget me not!”, “The Tree of Life”, “Yi Yi”, ” Nader and Simin -. “, to name the top ten
blockbuster unfortunately had to stay out
Among the first hundred, there is not a single blockbuster (this is a critic list) and not a single movie sequel number after the title; is singular works, not to scale overlooking endless continuation assembly line products.
This is an important statement in a movie scene, where more and more curiosity gets lost on New; the producers rely on proven formulas, and a good part of the audience wants to consume only variations of that from which it has already cost.
Each of the films that ended up on the top places, may there certainly are – but it could also give a completely different Top 10th The BBC is fair to call any critics and to make their lists into the net, and that makes it possible to take the company closer look.
What happens just when all anglophone are
a simple count results initially, that 45 percent of participating critics from a single country originate: the United States. Participants with native English speakers (Americans, British, Australians, Canadians) make even 57 percent, and – what a coincidence – that’s exactly the proportion of English-language films on the list
This is not a criticism of the critics. Each list was obviously put together with great care and is an expression of individual taste. There is no criticism that appear in the list only three German films, Michael Haneke’s “The White Ribbon” (rank 18), Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck’s “The Lives of Others” (32) and Maren Ade’s “Toni Erdmann” ( 100); except Sebastian Schipper’s “Victoria” drop a not many German films from the period in question, which would be missing.
From because globality!
the problem lies with the organizer, the BBC. How can you start a survey that clearly universal representativeness asserted while resorting to three-fifths of English speakers? Among 177 respondents, there are two (!!) Chinese, a (!) Japanese, two (!!) Africans and no fewer than five Indians. The French experience five, the Italians and the Germans to four.
The “100 Best Films” are a new example only alleged global nature, which in reality only the dominance of Western media apparatus reflects. We must, I fear, rename the poll but, most aptly in “. The 100 best movies of the 21st century, seen from an Anglo-American-Western perspective, hides the significant parts of the world filmmaking” Thanks to Mr. Churchill for access.
