Once the film is out and a lot of people are seeing it, it becomes almost owned by the cinemagoers of the world.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Once a film is made and it exists, someone somewhere is going to watch it and that is kind of the magic of it all.
Unfortunately, overall, movies are a conglomerate. People buy and sell people in this business, which can get really ugly.
Cinema is a worldwide phenomenon.
Movies are something people see all over the world because there is a certain need for it.
So much of selling a film in the industry is about creating a fulcrum where all the pressure comes to bear, and something seems suddenly valuable and approved by an audience. It's amazing how people could pick up tons of films on the cheap, but they don't because they wait until everything is laid out for them.
There's always gonna be people with a lot of money making film, and the goal is to make profit and carry on. It is a business. The goal is to make a living doing it and to be comfortable.
The British film industry has always tried to sell itself as something rather sophisticated. It's almost as if it thinks it is by royal command. It has always tried to claim the high ground, not only over Hollywood but over the whole of humanity!
It's the same the world over. A Hollywood production comes to town, and the locals all turn movie crazy.
Marketing has supplanted story as the primary force behind the worthiness of making a film, and that's a very sad thing. It's film only as a function of consumerism rather than as an important component of our culture, and that's everywhere around the world.
Here's the thing about movies, all movies end up on television. That's their life. Whether you like it or not, I don't care how much money you spend on it, or how big or broad the film is, or who the actors are in it, eventually it's all coming out of the box.
