Critics are paracites. They have gotten so many films wrong. There simply are too many bean counters and MBAs in charge of the film industry to ever produce anything serious. Too much marketing research and consultants dictating what sells. If one film is successful then "you can't argue with success" mentalities take over and off we go on a genre tyrade which floods the market with more of the same. I was once serious about film in my youth. Basically films are made for the young. David Lean and Stanley Jubrick were my idols and I think no one today even comes close. Critics were only marginal to both of them. Kubrick was exiled by Hollywood and Lean was played as a director too difficult to work with. The two greatest directors of the last 20 years were treated as almost untouchables by the industry. The industry doesn't want directors in control. They want a sellable commodity and they only care about the bottom line. Ray Hughes
