Re: Show a little perspective

Just tell me where are the great directors and actors today

The Coens, PT Anderson, Eastwood, Soderbergh, Mendes, Coppola, Spacey, Chris Cooper, Del Toro, Thornton, Law . . . I could go on . . . It's a different world today and acting and film has changed. I honestly question whether those directors of the 30s thru the 60s could compete today and vice versa.

Casablanca was a fluke. There were dozens of films similar to it with different casts and directors that stank and disappeared without a trace by 1950. That Casablanca worked was due to the right director, actors, cinematographer and script all being called onto the same project at the same time. It, like the best films of the time, were good only by kismet.

You continue to live in the past.
