“We can only develop criteria and then evaluate a subject if we know the subject’s purpose and audience…What is your movie attempting to do? To succeed as a comedy for teens? To maintain high action for adults? To retell a classic fairy tale for children?...Evaluating something means understanding what that subject is attempting to do.” (Composition of Everyday Life, p. 339)
