How to Deal with Reviewers' Remorse: Movie Critics

Video Transcript

"Hi there! I'm Amy Wallace on behalf of Expert Village and today we are going to be discussing how to be a good movie critic or more importantly, how to start out as a movie critic with a budget. Now the next part might not happen to you a couple of months or years into your career as a movie critic and that is reviewers remorse. You will find that after a while something that you have written hasn't exactly held true. Maybe you really pan a movie that ended up withstanding the test of time. In reviewing it again, maybe you have changed your idea of it entirely. Fact of the matter is you did write that review or you did give that review. So you are going to want to somewhat standby what you earlier said although you can't always say you've changed your mind since. Don't worry it happens with the best of us. There was a point when the Graduate first came out even, Robert Everett said that he thought the soundtrack provided by Simon and Garfunkle which is now really famous, he has said that he found it forgettable. So don't worry. It happens to the best of us. Just keep going and stop second guessing yourself. If it happens to you, you might feel the need to kind of retreat into yourself and not review. The main point is to just keep going. Don't worry. Your opinion does matter and yeah your opinion will change over time but what you've said will hold true for that period. "
