I'm 62 years old. At one time movies were a great passion in my life. I studied cinema in college and graduate school and worked as a producer of films for the medical industry. But Hollywood doesn't make movies for my age group any longer. Personally I long and yearn for the David Lean type of film and I think his three late films represent production values that have never been duplicated. Mr. Lucas has been very successful and I can't argue with his success. But I don't like plot lines that are at a fever pitch straight level line the entire 2 hour stretch. I like peaks and valleys in plot lines of movies. I don't like gratuatous violence and I think some things should never be shown. I like intelligent thought provoking dialog for an adult, something I haven't seen in a film for a long time now. Cinematography which I once had a passion for is now SLOPPY. I like everything in focus. Now most films are shot with a depth of field barely of a few inches with avaliable light. I'm sick and tired of every shot from a STEADYCAM sled doing 360 degree piroettes around an actor ad nauseum. This device now is grossly over used. Sound which used to be in 6 track stereo Cinerams is now presented in mono sound on a no larger screen than a bed sheet in a maxi cinema per square cubicle with a center isle in a shopping mall. Someone tall can sit in front of you who smokes and there is that odor of ground in pop corn and spilled coke and now bed bugs in the seat. I'll wait for it to come out of DVD.
The chances of a professional wrestler or a weight lifter becoming a Hollywood film maker is greater than anyone who studied film at NYU or USC.
