I don’t know if I’d go that far. When I read a novel, a comic book, watch actual theatre, or listen to music, I don’t think, “This is fake and hollow.” Perhaps it’s because film is such a young art form and it still hasn’t distanced itself fully from the others. I watched Ikiru a while back and it was my least-liked of all Kurosawa films I have seen because I thought, “This could have been a stage play or a novel and the effect would have been the same, this film didn’t make a case for itself as a film.”
Aren’t there intrinsic qualities that film has that don’t belong to other arts? I’m sure there are but most filmmakers don’t seek to weed them out from the art form’s antecedents. I’d like to go forward in time to 100 years from now to see if we’ve gotten any closer to “Pure Filmmaking”, and what that looks like.
Unfortunately, I’m not able to distil the vortex of my thoughts into an axiom just yet.
I agree with your perspective on abusive music use though.

Charlottebro is more than a man; He’s an idea. Any one of us could be him. That’s what makes him so powerful, that’s what makes him so frightening to his enemies — Any single person can step into the shoes of Charlottebro and embody his ideals to the fullest.
