Yes, but Hollywood is the strangest place in that they'll torpedo their own film to prove an emotional point.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I don't think Hollywood per se is supposed to be taken seriously, otherwise, dear Lord, that would be frightening.
I think a movie is a media that is evoking feelings.
To me, Hollywood seems a little bipolar. Things happen; things don't happen. Someone's in a movie; someone's not in a movie. I've learned not to build my expectations.
The trouble with Hollywood films is that they always have a pleasant ending.
Hollywood is a strange place.
The way Hollywood works, you're never sure if their first thought is to make a great film and honor the material or just another business property.
The problem with most Hollywood movies is they don't give the director enough control.
Every day I spend in Hollywood, I start to realize how many films are made with no heart and no love. They just do it for the paycheck, and I cannot imagine making a film that way.
Hollywood movies are run on fear and they don't want to make bold choices. They, generally, speaking want to keep things status quo. That's not really interesting for me.
I think people in Hollywood are afraid of sentiment because they think audiences will reject it.
