No kidding.
I'm not saying "money is wrong, make all films for free".
When a production team makes a movie, they take a risk. I think the problem is that the people making the artistic decisions are also the ones trying to minimise risk and maximise revenue.
I appreciate a film needs to be a commercial success to make it worthwhile to the creators, but there comes a point where the artistic integrity has been utterly sacrificed and you get a dull, anemic, forgettable film.
- psychlops 5y agoFair enough. I thought you were going down the "capitalism is bad" route. I think I understand what you mean. > I think the problem is that the people making the artistic decisions are also the ones trying to minimise risk and maximise revenue. Knowing absolutely nothing about production, I would surmise there is a financial science and formula applied to films estimating modelling their potential profit. I mean something like "there must be x car chases to draw y amount of viewers" for an action film and so on. Since such formulas would be based on past data, we rarely see something fresh as it's riskier.
