Part 1:
While writing my ending, I tried to focus on bigger picture ideas and tried to end on a slightly hopeful, yet uncertain, note.
“Sadly, there is no definitive answer, as everyone is different, but there are ways that have been proven to increase happiness among members of the general public. Putting time, effort and creativity into creating a piece of art, whether it be a film, painting or otherwise, and being proud of the finished product is far more rewarding in the grand scheme of things than taking the easy route and exploiting the market for the sake of money. This is a lesson that Hollywood will hopefully realize in time, but until then, we must look to those who continue to pour their love and care into the industry so that they may shine on for years to come.”
Part 2:
- Anecdote: Watching the Cats trailer.
- Hollywood thinks that throwing more money at a film will make it better.
- Those who use genuine creativity and passion on a smaller budget are often pushed aside by big blockbusters.
- Pirates of the Caribbean 4, the most expensive film ever made.
- Bigger picture idea: Can money buy happiness?
- We must continue to encourage independent filmmakers.
