"One of the things that wrong with pictures today, I think, is that so many of the people making them started out wanting to"

This quote by Peter Bogdanovich talks to the present state of the film market. He thinks that many of individuals making films today have started out with the incorrect intentions. He thinks that they are more concentrated on earning money and achieving popularity than on producing meaningful art. This has actually resulted in an absence of creativity and originality in the films being produced. He thinks that filmmakers should focus on developing something that is meaningful and that will stand the test of time. He believes that if filmmakers concentrate on producing something that is truly special, then the industry will be much better off. He thinks that the current state of the movie industry is a result of filmmakers not having the best intentions when they began.
