The difference between a professional critic and an online writer lies in the depth of their knowledge and methodology. A professional critic, in addition to watching films, is well-versed in film history, film theory, and cultural knowledge, and can analyze a film within its historical and cultural context. In contrast, online writers may base their opinions on fleeting emotions or personal taste without delving into the film's structure or themes. This is why audiences still turn to reliable sources and well-known critics for a credible analysis.
