  Are you arguing that because one person made it, Primer is the greatest film of all time? If not, my point still stands, that people can work together and still create great art.

    I'm simply pointing out an easy counterexample to It takes hundreds of people to make a good movie. It doesn't have to be that way.

      I'm sorry if what I said didn't come out right. I was responding to Garry's suggestion that a masterpiece had to be the product of a single auteur's mind, which is an unfortunately common assumption. I thought the same about Citizen Kane, for instance, until about a month ago. After all, Welles wrote/directed/starred, right? But he worked with some brilliant people who had skills he simply did not have, without which Citizen Kane could not have been as good as it was.

    Except that wasn't your point... you said lots of people were required to make a great film, which is much stronger than lots of people can make one.
