Film Is Fragmented And Gets

While We Have A Very Strong Popular Culture, The Roots Of American Culture Are Very Shallow, And We Put Emphasis On How A Movie Does As Far As The Box Office Goes. Many Years Ago, It Would Have Been Vulgar To Print Box - Office Grosses In The Paper. Now The New York Times Does It, And It's The Big Story For People Interested In Arts And Entertainment On Monday. Which Is Why Emphasis Has Shifted Away From Filmmakers And Fallen On Movie Stars And Business People.
