If We Were A Primitive

All Films Are Political, Whether They Mean To Be Or Not. Star Wars Is Political. As Soon As You Have Conflict, Which Is The Key To Most Films, You Have Politics. It's Just That Some Are More Artful With The Handling Of Politics Than Others.

By That I Mean, I Think That It Is True That Politics And Political Heroes Have To Satisfy Our Need To Be Greater Than Mortal In Some Way, And That's Led Them Into Creating Illusions, Sound Bites, Focus Groups That Tell You What To Do.

Hollywood Was Set Up By A Bunch Of Businessmen. They Do Not See Their Job As Being Philanthropists. I Don't Think It's A Contradiction In Terms To Attempt To Be A Good Businessman And To Also Be Liberal.

Three Days Of The Condor Is Still An Interesting Film To Watch Not Because It's Political. It Happens To Be Political. But That's Not Why The Sales Of The Dvds Are As High As They Are. It's Because It's An Entertaining Thriller. In My Opinion, Tootsie Is A Very Political Movie But Truck Drivers Can Go And Laugh At It.

I'm Not A Very Good Predictor In Any Area Of Art, Particularly My Own. I Don't Know How To Evaluate That.
