Values and standards are not interchangeable concepts. Values are what we want. Standards are what we demand. Unfortunately, while standards—not values—are the central issue, standards are really only a measuring line, rather than the thing to be measured. Unless our standards are meant to be black-and-white—either we approve of a thing altogether or we refuse to enjoy a film that contains it to any degree—and unless we mean to maintain that position in every category, we will not be able to provide a list of Purity and Precision’s “standards”. They are high, we hope, but their level will have to be determined from the reviews themselves.
