Day of Defense

I have not seen Day of Defense. It must have not been very widely advertised. I have only seen the trailer via the movie's website. The acting did seem poor. Nevertheless, in the movie makers' defense (no pun intended), I applaud anyone that attempts to make a movie. That is extremely hard work to make a movie of any size, whether it's a short or full-length feature.

I get irritated by the responses of people who are highly critical of other filmmakers' efforts, even beginning filmmakers' efforts, when they themselves, in many cases, have never made a movie themselves, let alone been on a production team for one.

I liken them to people who are highly critical of pro basketball or football players, etc. when they themselves can barely dribble, pass or punt much less score in those respective games. For example, I would value John Stockton's or Jerry Rice's analyses of an athlete's skills before some guy "off the street" who had not been "in the trenches."

But, then again, I guess that is why these people are called movie "critics" and not movie "praisers", right?
