1. There are hundreds of people listed in the end credits, most of whom worked in a much more hectic manner. The film couldn’t have happened without them.
2. There are people who already know what Keanu Reeves needed to learn to play the role, but they’re not internationally recognizable actors. The movie wouldn’t make as much money without him playing the lead, only for very superficial reasons.
- actuallyalys 3y agoI'm not sure no. 1 contradicts the post's main point, but it certainly complicates it. There are definitely many people who are rapidly flipping between task to task (my sense is that producers, production assistants, and personal assistants fall into this category). There are also jobs like focus pullers and various techs who are working in a chaotic, changing environment, but are focused on one (difficult) task. It seems like a large film has people across varying both in how focused they are (few versus many tasks) and how responsive they have to be.
- irjustin 3y ago1. But that contrary-to-the-article doesn't really lead to greatness the way the film achieved it. Like the Dune films, there is a critical artistic dogma that exists and propels the movie to greatness. All hectic/frantic actions are in belief/support of that narrow focus. This applies to work in so many ways. The greatest restaurants exhibit this same focus/pattern. So it becomes introspective - what thing should you focus on to achieve your "greatness"? All hectic actions support that focus.
