Issue 218/26
"In order for any work of art-whether film, literature, sculpture, or a song-to have merit, it must be understandable to most people."
"为了使一部分艺术作品--无论是电影、文学、雕塑，还是歌曲--具有价值，它必须能为大多数人所理解。"

写作提纲：
1，        不同意题目的观点，小让步，真反对。
2，        有的电影不被人理解，依然具有价值。
格里菲斯的党同伐异。叙事结构，蒙太奇技巧都非常先锋，为后来的影片提供了学习的榜样。但是太超前不被人理解。像这种革新而不被人理解的片子很多，《81/2》《奇遇》等等。
虽然不被理解但一点也不减损影片价值。
3，        有的电影虽然被理解，但是不一定具有价值。如一些肥皂剧，HOLLYWOOD大片,迎合和观众的口味。
4，        所以被不被大多数人理解，不是衡量艺术平价值的标准，而是应该看艺术品是用独特的手法表达出了对人性，对生活，对艺术形式本身的深刻理解

There is a public controversy over the issue of weather the meritorious art work must be understandable to most people. Some people insist that artist should not indulge in self-admiration, because the real great masterpiece can be appreciated by not only the refined but also multitude. I agree this view for the reason that it expresses a desire of public to an artist. However, I would argue that understood by most people is not the ultimate criteria to assess the merit of an art work.

To begin with, despite of not understood by most people, many art works remain to manifest great artistic value. A case immediately brings to mind, <8/1/2>, a great film directed by Italian master Federico Fellini, talks about the subconscious of a film director when he makes a film. Although many people complaint of its obscurity and elusiveness, the film won the highest honor of world. The film deserves the prize, because it makes contribution to the field of film art in two aspects: a audacious innovation of narrative pattern and deep exploration of human subconscious. In this sense, weather an art work has merits dose not go along with widely understood by public.

On the other hand, many art works were popular at one time, but, as the elapse of time, they might turn out to be worthless. The simple example is that do you remember the most popular films or novels in ten years ago? As matter of fact, an art work, in most times, would drift to be vulgar, if the artist of the art work pay more attention to cater to the taste of public. As the most of Hollywood popular films, in order to make profits, the producer always spares no pains to repeat the same way such as attractive big stars, exciting action, amazing scenes and old narrative pattern to attract spectators. In this matter, to be understandable to the majority can only increases the profits to the producer or temporary reputation to the artist while has nothing to do with the real merits of the art work.

Above all, what the real criteria is to assess the merit of an art work? This issue is associated with the nature of the art. Art, no matter what its purposes such as self-expression, entertainment, teaching public are, is the form of feeling. So the real merits of an art go along with weather an art work express the artist's deep and distinctive discovery of human nature and essence of people’s living by a perfect and creative form. Thus, understood by mass is absolutely not a criterion to value an art work.

There is a public controversy over the issue of weather the meritorious art work must be understandable to most people. Some people insist that artist should not indulge in self-admiration, （好词） because the real great masterpiece can be appreciated by not only the refined but also multitude. I agree this view for the reason that it expresses a desire of public to an artist. （这句话有点怪，改成it expresses common people's aspiration for art.建议一下，yunzi自己斟酌哈） However, I would argue that （being）understood by most people is not the ultimate criteria (标准不能用最后来形容把) to assess the merit of an art work.

To begin with, despite of （being）not understood by most people, many art works remain to manifest great artistic value. A case immediately brings to mind(对这个短语不是很熟，可以主动表被动的吗？) , <8/1/2>, a great film directed by Italian master Federico Fellini, talks about the subconscious of a film director when he makes a film. Although many people complaint of its obscurity and elusiveness（两个都是好词，不像我，整篇都是understandable,汗。。。，另外，这个电影到底叫81/2还是8/1/2阿？不愧是强人，这种罕见的例子都是信手拈来阿）, the film won the highest honor of world. The film deserves the prize, because it makes contribution to the field of film art in two aspects: an audacious innovation of narrative pattern and deep exploration of human subconsciousness,前面也有一个. In this sense, weather an art work has merits （or not）dose not go along with widely understood by public(wide understanding of public好些，总是用被动，换一下) . （这一段论述得真精彩，赞~~不愧是专家 :lol）

On the other hand, many art works were popular at one time, but,（:Lbut是不能家逗号的都忘了） as the elapse of time, they might turn out to be worthless. The simple example is that do you remember the most popular films or novels in ten years ago? （晕，这种chiglish的典型都出来了，今天新东方的老师不要再文章中流露太多的情感，你写的是以论文，是比较正是的文体，像这样的设问句还是少用，当然有些地方是可以用的，另外，simple修饰example不太恰当，改一下：this can be simply illustrated by the fact that few people can still remember the most popular ....最后那个in 去掉）As a matter of fact, an art work, in most times, would drift to be vulgar, if the artist of the art work pay more attention to cater(改称pay too much attention on catering to) to the taste of public. As the most of Hollywood popular films, in order to make profits, the producer always spares no pains to repeat the same way such as attractive big stars, exciting action, amazing scenes and old narrative pattern to attract spectators (把前面那个to make profits也放在这里感觉好些). In this matter, to be understandable to the majority can only increases the profits to the producer or temporary reputation to the artist while has nothing to do with the real merits of the art work.

Above all, （连词用得不恰当，如果用above all 的话，中间加一句从上面看出大众的理解不是便准，然后then what is the real criteria....）what the real criteria is to assess the merit of an art work? This issue is associated with the nature of the art. Art, no matter what its purposes such as self-expression, entertainment, teaching public are (are放在purposes的后面，后面在价格逗号，such as做插入语吧), is the form of feeling. So the real merits of an art go along with weather an art work express the artist's deep and distinctive discovery of human nature and essence of people’s living by a perfect and creative form. Thus, （being 第三次了。。。）understood by mass is absolutely not a criterion to value an art work.

不愧是specialist on art 啊，准备收藏这片大作了，;P 不过越是你熟悉的领域越是要注意，因为一不小心就带了带多的情感，比方你的第三段可以归为檄文了，哈哈，就像在声讨好莱坞一样，另外，你这篇有多少个字啊，我县也准备这样写的，可是想到只能写两段可能不够，最后一段可以在适当的加一加，构成独立的一段，最后再来个经典的结尾就完美了！:victory:yunzi加油~~

3，        有的电影虽然被理解，但是不一定具有价值。如一些肥皂剧，HOLLYWOOD大片,迎合和观众的口味。
4，        进一步说，艺术的功能之一是自我表达，当艺术家用艺术作品表达对文化的不满，而与观众的惯常审美习惯冲突的时候，不被理解是自然而然的。但是没人能无视这些艺术作品的价值。
5，        所以被不被大多数人理解，不是衡量艺术平价值的标准，而是应该看艺术品是用独特的手法表达出了对人性，对生活，对艺术形式本身的深刻理解

There is a public controversy over the issue of weather the meritorious art work must be understandable to most people. Some people insist that artist should not indulge in self-admiration, because the real great masterpiece can be appreciated by not only the refined but also multitude. I agree this view for the reason that it expresses common people’s aspiration for an artist. However, I would argue that being understood by most people is not the appropriate criteria to assess the merit of an art work.

To begin with, despite of not being understood by most people, many art works remain to manifest great artistic value. A case immediately brings to mind, <81/2>, a great film directed by Italian master Federico Fellini, talks about the subconscious of a film director when he makes a film. Although many people complaint of its obscurity and elusiveness, the film won the highest honor of world. The film deserves the prize, because it makes contribution to the field of film art in two aspects: an audacious innovation of narrative pattern and deep exploration of human subconscious. In this sense, weather an art work has merits or not dose not go along with wide understanding of public.

On the other hand, many art works were popular at one time, but as the elapse of time, they might turn out to be worthless. This can be simply illustrated by the fact that few people can still remember the most popular films or novels ten years ago. As a matter of fact, an art work, more often than not, would become vulgar, if the artist of the art work pays too much attention to cater to the taste of public. As the most of Hollywood popular films, in order to make profits, the producer always spares no pains to repeat the same way in those films such as attractive big stars, exciting action, amazing scenes and old narrative pattern to attract spectators. In this sense, to be understandable to the majority can only increases the profits to the producer or temporary reputation to the artist while has nothing to do with the real merits of the art work.

Moreover, sometimes the original intention of an artist to create an art work determines its destiny of not being understood by masses. As we know, one of the most important functions of art is expressionism. In this circumstance, artists use art to express their distinctive feeling and concept to the world around us, which might be disturbing or even offensive to public. For example, Sherry Levine, a famous American photographer, felt a strong discrimination of female gender from advertisement, law, and social custom in society she lived. So she expressed her dissatisfaction through grotesque images of women. Since the individual expression broke the common habit of esthetic sense of public, not being understood is not at all surprising. However, no one can be blind to the merit of these art works.         

Above all, to be understandable to most people doses not have to do with the real value of an art work. So what is the real criteria is to assess the merit of an art work? This issue is associated with the nature of the art. In my opinion, art, no matter it is film, literature, sculpture, or a song and its purpose is self-expression, entertainment, teaching public and so on, is the form of feeling. So the real merits of an art go along with weather an art work express the artist's deep and distinctive discovery of human nature and essence of people’s living by a perfect and creative form or not. Thus, being understood by mass is absolutely not a criterion to value an art work.
