> I’m not sure I agree with the take “ **Spelling everything out is not generally characteristic of art**.” Like, there are plenty of great movies whose strength is many things, but not subtlety. Mad Max Fury road is impressively good and has great social themes, but it’s about as subtle with its themes and plot points as its bombast suggests it would be.

A good topic for debate (and probably not one easily settled).
