Americans were brought up on Disneyland and Hollywood not on literature and art as Europeans. You cant expect the same sensibility. Money is not the basis for art but for Hollywood it is.

[Joelaroc7]

@RonAlmeida "Americans were brought up on Disneyland and Hollywood." Oh, really? So I guess we were not brought up by the lightbulb, the airplane, the personal computer, transistor, the Civil Rights movement, jazz, blues, rap, rock n' roll, the nuclear family concept, automobiles, television, American sports, the steamboat, the telegraph, cotton gin and the American authors that I mentioned either, right? Sometimes I read your comment and wonder if you did your research.

[Joelaroc7]

@RonAlmeida To say Americans were not brought up on literature is pure BS when you consider many American authors like James Cooper, Washington Irving, Edgar Allan Poe, Herman Melville, Ralph Emerson, Mark Twain, Henry Longfellow, F. Scott Fitzgerald, John Steinbeck, Sinclar Lewis, T.S. Eliot and so on. Oh and many foreign filmmakers have made their own interpretations of American novels too, including Godard himself, whose PIERROT LE FOU was based on Lionel White (an American)'s book OBSESSION.

@alien3445 Yeah, because a worthless, has-been French director who hasn't made a decent movie since 1967 is more important than one of the world's successful filmmakers who has actually made more movies in a year than this pinhead has in a decade.

@andrejvgo it's hard to make such a statement like RonAlmeida. but somehow it is true, I can't truly say such a thing, but in general , Hollywood had its fascinating times, in hollywood cinema is business, the french new wave was only a movement of people who wanted to give cinema more than just acting and words. breaking the mold of the predicible. cinema is everything and everyone, so it doesn't really matter what country has the smartest people?

@karanmaxfilms Maybe.

[neilbahadur1]

@karanmaxfilms And of course Welles!

@karanmaxfilms The classical American film is extrodindary, Von Sternberg, Nick Ray, Ford, Von Stroheim, Chaplin, King Vidor, as well as the modern masters such as Ferrara, Michael Mann, Scorsese, Terrence Malick, James Grey........Kubrick, while good, will fade with time.
