Kael is often quoted for saying, "Movies are so rarely.."
...expensive.
...boring.
...great art.
...valuable.
Answer
Movies are rarely great art because they are often constrained by commercial pressures and the need to appeal to a wide audience. This can lead to a focus on formulaic storytelling, predictable plotlines, and a lack of artistic originality. As a result, many movies fail to achieve the level of creativity, depth, and emotional impact that is characteristic of great art.
