Being a film studies minor, I always see filmmaking as true art in every essence of the word. Not only does every little aspect in the creation of a film (writing, directing, cinematography, acting) all qualify as art, but all together it is one big piece of art. Some films exemplify more artistic merit and value than others, but when a film is crafted with such reverence to good filmmaking, the viewer cannot do anything but respect the great film that they have seen. The above movie still from Slumdog Millionaire can be seen as a piece of art taken out of context of the movie or it can be a testament to the artform of the movie itself. Either way, a picture says a 1,000 words, while a film can say much, much more.
