Even fairly serious moviegoers can't shake this shadow of the corporate world.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Every movie is like a little company, and any little thing can make it not work.
I have watched people who have nothing to do with the film business, but who have become part of the circle for a short period of time. They can be truly devastated when the film wraps and people leave.
People have given their lives to this industry to make movies compelling.
Unfortunately, overall, movies are a conglomerate. People buy and sell people in this business, which can get really ugly.
Some people make a great film and then they can't follow up.
I don't think Hollywood per se is supposed to be taken seriously, otherwise, dear Lord, that would be frightening.
The problem with most Hollywood movies is they don't give the director enough control.
For the most part, the American film market has become very corporatised, even independent film to a degree, and because of the corporate management mentality, they want to take the safe way.
The biggest danger of Hollywood becoming a purely corporate town resides in the creative process.
Movies are the shadiest business in the world.
