About this Quote

This quote by Yahoo Serious is an alerting about the possible mistakes of the Hollywood film market. He suggests that if a motion picture succeeds with audiences, the filmmaker will be pulled into a "devil of a place" where the only thing that matters is the box office. This indicates that the market is focused on generating income instead of developing art, and that filmmakers may be pressured to make decisions that are not in line with their creative vision. It also suggests that the market is aggressive and competitive, which success is not ensured. The quote works as a tip that while the possible benefits of the movie market are fantastic, it is necessary to be familiar with the dangers and to be prepared to make difficult decisions.
