understandable but like, aren't 99% of movies made to make a profit?
Yes that's true but I have a pretty simple algorithm for movies that were "made to sell tickets"
Hm...I can see your angle but some of those can stilll be fun to watch.
Movies can't always be about deep thought 100% philosophical question of life. That's tiring for me.
I do want to point out that "legitimate artistry" doesn't equal "deep thought 100% philosophical" all the time or even most of the time.
Like I think Indiana Jones is legitimate artistry. Same with The Terminator. Or Alien. Or Mad Max. Even Sinners is legitimate artistry. Get Out.
I haven't seen it yet, but I get the impression that "The Odyssey" was made because Nolan thought the subject matter was interesting.
People have made cool movies for the love of the game forever. I think the big difference is "did an executive come up with this idea in a boardroom?" Or "did a real creative person come up with this idea?"
Thanks for explaining your standpoint.
Hereby I stand corrected :)
Are there any movies you like which are an exception to those?
I liked Nolan's Dark Knight Trilogy... Actually just the first 2.
The primary target can be X or Y or a 50/50 split.
Someone can have passion to make a movie but also wanting more € to make more movies.
Or get rich from the (maybe) one-hit wonder ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
