"In America, they shoot budgets and schedules, and they don't shoot films any more. There's more opportunity in Europe to make films that at least have a purity of intent"
- Paul Bettany
About this Quote
In this quote, actor Paul Bettany is expressing his viewpoint on the film market in America versus Europe. He suggests that in America, the focus is more on the financial aspects of making a movie, such as spending plans and schedules, rather than the creative integrity of the project. This could imply that the innovative vision of filmmakers is frequently jeopardized in order to satisfy monetary objectives. On the other hand, Bettany thinks that in Europe, there is more liberty and opportunity to produce movies with a genuine and pure intent. This might be translated as a criticism of the commercialization of the movie market in America, and a praise for the poetic license in Europe.
