That's also not art's only purpose. We can argue the definition of art all-day but this is Wikipedia's definition:

Quote:
Art is the process or product of deliberately arranging elements in a way to affect the senses or emotions.
I'm not trying to hang my hat on a wiki definition but merely trying to express that art can be interpreted differently by all individuals. Some, like me, may focus on the visual and captivating qualities of film.

By the way, you guys are pretending like my favorite movie is Transformers or something.

Eh, you're selling baseball as a hobby short but that doesn't surprise me. I get more intellectually stimulated by a baseball game than most movies, the artsy ones included...
