Screenwriter/film critics Zhang Xiaobei and Shi Hang will share their insights into film appreciation. Among the questions they will be discussing: What makes a movie good or bad? Is there such a thing as an objective standard for a “good” or “bad” film? Why are some well-liked movies not necessarily good, and some very annoying movies not necessarily bad?
