Court is in session

Put Street Fighter on trial.

Two incompatible taste archetypes. One film. Read the arguments, then issue a completely binding cultural ruling.

The defence The Popcorn Loyalist

“Spectacle is a valid language.”

It understands that cinema can hit first and explain itself later. Pleasure is not a lesser artistic goal.

The prosecution The Auteur Devotee

“Noise filed as personality.”

Momentum and scale cannot indefinitely distract from choices that buckle under a second look.
