***Every artist has to make some money, and every artist has to feed his family.He-he... that wasn't the case with Passion in the Desert!
It is true that Hollywood has become just the pop corn factory - that was their choice, so they can't complain.
But there are many good movies being made in the US at the independent studios... fortunately. Many are quite interesting. Things like Living in Oblivion - one of my long time favorites.
And thank Robert Redford for creating the Sundance Festival, where the indies see the limelight.
But overall today most good movies are made outside the US. When you see things like Autumn Spring you realize that making a good film has nothing to do with money, and everything with love for people (it shows in it sooo readily) and the desire to create something good.

No, of course, no, but that is the exception won´t you say, that was more of a kind of " mecenat " (patronizing.. )for us..hehe.
I complain! With all they know how !!
I think almost every one wants to earn money! The problem is the " balance " if I may say so...
You are correct there.The studios have chosen to develop technology over artistic craft [similar to audio] and this is the result. Greed plays a role when the bottom line is such a major consideration in production development and distribution.
We are also fortunate that the technology [not all bad :)] of DVD provides access to many foreign and independent films that see little general theatrical distribution.

Video is the savior.
