In Reply to: ART OR INDUSTRY? posted by patrickU on February 09, 2004 at 06:24:42:
buy yourself some Crayolas and some poster board. The American film industry is more closely aligned with something like professional wrestling and pin-ball amusement. Look who gets to make movies: Armold Schwartzneger. David Lean was not allowed to make a film for 14 years of his life between RYAN'S DAUGHTER and A PASSAGE TO INDIA. And all because producers wanted to have their way and not let David have his. The MBA's are now in control. The G-D bottom line counters who think that a good movie is one that brings in a lot of money no matter how. It's all about turning out CRAP for a BUCK and they couldn't give a gnat's ass hair whether it is considered ART or not. Meaningful films are being made but not in the USA by that crowd in tensil town. The last movie I saw, the theatre had pin ball machines in the lobby. It's down now to that level. thewiz

Well it look like David was not an easy man. But your missive is just the same as mine.
...is never GOOD! Unless you're dealing with a Mozart and then it came easy for him but that was not FILM. The problem is working with the rest of humanity. Personally, I'm glad there were Orson Wells, David Leans, and W.A Mozarts even if their life was short or their productivity impeded. It's ludicrous to show perarls to swine. And the people who make up the film industry are SWINE. EMPIRE OF THE SUN would have been a much better film had it been directed with some artistic sensibility. The same for THE BOUNTY. thewiz
