she doesn’t like the MPAA because they wouldn’t back her picture. pray tell, WHAT PICTURES. because the closest thing legit thing I can find online that she have actually done any moviemaking is vimeo page, and a new york times article saying she was a script doctor in the 90s.

A tribute to Martin Scorsese

I can’t think of a single reason to buy this film.
I can think of a million reasons to share it.

This film totally sucks. This film is brilliant.

In a way, it is a metaphor. It reflects where we are today.
We are thieves. We are scoundrels. We are alone. We are family.
We are the past. We are the future.

“It is meant to be shared.”

No was that this is the full story. There are movies out there who are 100% copy cats (req + quarantine, let the right ones in + let me in), or movies that have the same title and same story background but basically ruin the old one (I can’t name one, but there are plenty out there).
Also, how sad would it be if 12 angry men wouldn’t have received a refurbished version?

If they stopped making a movie because it was titled “the godfather” than they are stupid not to rename it. And this won’t be the case, hence it’s not the full story.

The MPAA admitted to making an unauthorised copy of the film when it was submitted to them for review despite giving their word they would not.
They claim it was done in regards to the privacy violations they felt had taken place on their raters.

Hypocrites.

One might say “duh, those films wouldn’t sell well”. That might be true, but it’s only one part of the picture. Plenty of films that don’t “sell well” are greenlit all the time. Art films and “crown films” – movies that may not be a big commercial success, but they’re considered prestigious to have under the aegis of the studio. A good example is Black Swan – a film that was even heavily promoted and advertised.

But these films that make a statement are still scrubbed clean of attacking or questioning certain fundamental values and assumptions.

A critic once made an interesting observation about what would ordinarily seem to be a high concept film – Brokeback Mountain. “That movie got awards and recognition for its ‘daring’ subject matter, but was it really a positive thing for gay people? It publicized gay men as creatures of animal passion unable to control their urges, who had violent, ugly sex. It strengthened the stereotype that being gay is just about the sex and that gay men are out of control.”
