"It's only in relatively recent years that Hollywood became the playground of multinational corporations which regard movies and TV shows as a minor irritant to their overall activity"
- Peter Bart
About this Quote
This quote by Peter Bart is describing the shift in Hollywood from an innovative industry to a company one. In the past, Hollywood was a place where innovative minds can come together to develop films as well as tv shows. However, in recent times, Hollywood has become a play ground for international corporations who view films and also tv programs as a small component of their overall company. These firms are more concentrated on generating income than producing art, and this has had a negative influence on the top quality of movies and also television shows. This shift has actually caused numerous skilled filmmakers and also actors to leave Hollywood looking for even more creative possibilities. The quote is a reminder that Hollywood is no longer the imaginative hub it once was, and that the industry is now controlled by business interests.
