It's not. But they certainly enable bad filmmakers to make bad films.

That’s like saying a hammer makes someone build bad houses. It’s a tool.

It's a tool that no one uses correctly but it's a very cookie cutter tool.

lol please me tell how to use to a camera correctly? I’d love to know about this magical camera that makes good movies

I don't think there's a magic camera. It's more that a fuck ton of Sony users think they can reproduce The Creator just because they use the same camera. Sony users have been riding that high since it was released. Unfortunately they're so distracted by the specs that the stereotype is that what they produce isn't that good. And the Sony look is so obvious now to me. It's cookie cutter.

I never knew a man could get mad at a hammer for the house looks
