Don’t Let The Critics Drag You Down- Success is the Best Revenge!

As a creator you are often subject to criticism, negativity, and sometimes abuse. One thing that alway gives me strength when subject to any negative response is that we are not alone, and that one persons opinion is not worth a hill of beans.

Check out some of these critics comments and smile.

“It has dwarfs, music, Technicolor, freak characters and Judy Garland. It can’t be expected to have a sense of humor as well, and as for the light touch of fantasy, it weighs like a pound of fruitcake soaking wet.” — The New Republic on The Wizard of Oz

“The love story that takes us from time to time into the past is horribly wooden, and clichés everywhere lower the tension.” — New Statesman on Casablanca

“It’s an assemblage of spare parts — it has no emotional grip… an epic without a dream.” — Pauline Kael, The New Yorker on Star Wars

“The fault is also in the lengthy but surprisingly lusterless dialogue of Robert Bolt’s over-written screenplay. Seldom has so little been said in so many words.” — Bosley Crowther, The New York Times on Lawrence of Arabia
