Is It Art?

Is It Art? Is an article by Gary Moeller where he discusses the Buffy the Vampire episode “Hush”. In this article, Moeller compares how this episode relates to other videos considered art. Moeller first compares how “Hush” and The Yellow Submarine showing how the two are similar because in each instance the sound is taken away from a town. Next, the article discusses how The Gentleman’s minions are similar to the monkeys in The Wizard of Oz saying “The monkeys were so incredibly creepy; some aspects of their creepiness relate directly to the Gentlemen’s minions.” This articles ends by debating whether or not “Hush” should be considered art. Moeller says yes “Yes (since, revealed through art, we do need to know all, even the most frightening), then “Hush” passes this test, at least in terms of intent.”
