Whether a film is "Hollywood" or not has nothing to do with its gross earnings, how they are spent, the choice of actors, the subject or many other things.It has to do with the language the movie (and the director) speak.
The List speaks Hollywood.
We know someone is speaking Italian after just a couple of words - no matter what is the subject... we may not even understand it at all, but the flavor of the language is immediate.
You are concentrating on the superficial things here. I couldn't care rat's ass where the earnings went - he could have bought his wife another $200M diamond ring for all I care - that is his right, and he has done that many times over.
I already commented on the subject - but as important as it is, it doesn't make a film Hollywood or not.
But the unmistakable flavor of the tinsel town is all over the film. One catches it quickly once exposed to it in good doses.
It is as easy to spot as the dreaded "made for TV, based on real events" kaka we all know. Or something made for the woman's Lifetime channel - they all exude strong easily identifyable flavors.
Spielberg speaks Hollywood language because he knows no other. He is as Hollywood as Hollywood itself... heck, he IS Hollywood.
