Well it's always the clash between art and commerce. Most of us would agree that Hollywood's only job is to create profitable content to be consumed by the masses. And people do vote with their wallet's pretty easily and often so these studios can fine tune the formula. There is a % of people though that wish it was also more art and less formulaic and commercial.
It's the same in tech. There's this angst/thread that expects every tech startup to change the world while 98% of them are simply iterating on a proven safe formula of a game or social app concept to maximize profitability.
- seizethecheese 12y agoYeah, I certainly wish there were more artful movies. However, I think the art vs commerce distinction is false. Studios making artful films are just as commercial as any, they just produce for a specific audience.
