he’s right, but it’s meant to work both ways — we need lower budget, high quality releases coming out every week so we can have at least one top gun maverick a year, can’t have one without the other

Netflix has single handedly stifled theatres and Hollywood largely has frolicked to the streamer's desires. Studios desperately are trying to imitate Netflix's success but are failing. Cinema has largely regressed

"There are no entertaining moments in 'Mirror' (1975). In fact I am categorically against entertainment in cinema: it is as degrading for the author as it is for the audience." --- Andrei Tarkovsky Full Excerpt: "'Mirror' (1975) is an autobiographical film. The things that happen are real things that happened to people close to me. That is true of all the episodes in the film. But why do people complain that they cannot understand it? The facts are so simple, they can be taken by every one as similar to the experience of their own lives. But here we come up against something that is peculiar to cinema: the further a viewer is from the content of a film, the closer he is; what people are looking for in cinema is a continuation of their lives, not a repetition. There are no entertaining moments in the film. In fact I am categorically against entertainment in cinema: it is as degrading for the author as it is for the audience. The purpose of 'Mirror', its inspiration, is that of a homily: look, learn, use the life shown here as an example. There are so many films now, and they are all so different, that very soon it will be impossible to plan for distribution to cinemas. That will be the beginning of a new phase in the development of film, which is after all the youngest art form, it is only about seventy years old. Films will start to be handed out as cassettes, people will take them home, every viewer will find himself face to face with the film he particularly likes. And what of cinema, the mass medium, you may ask ? Mass is not a criterion of quality. The same could be said about the number of people involved in the making of a film. Numbers are not the point. A small team working together is preferable to a large collective. Another question: What is going to happen to Mirror? We don't know yet. For the moment the film is only being shown in three cinemas, and they started with two. They are trying it out first, because the organs responsible for distribution are afraid it might be a failure. When they heard that people sat on and wouldn't leave, one of the highly placed distribution officials observed that normal people leave the cinema." [A talk by Tarkovsky in the Building Institute, 1975 about his film 'Mirror' (1975)]

Tom Cruise on why he wasn't interested in making a sequel to "Top Gun" (1986), which was thought to be a right-wing film promoting the U.S Navy: "Playboy: 'Born on the Fourth of July' (1989) is also the flip side of 'Top Gun' (1986), which is essentially war by Nintendo game and a paean to blind patriotism. Cruise: OK, some people felt that 'Top Gun' was a right-wing film to promote the Navy. And a lot of kids loved it. But I want the kids to know that that’s not the way war is—that 'Top Gun' was just an amusement park ride, a fun film with a PG-13 rating that was not supposed to be reality. That’s why I didn’t go on and make Top Gun II and III and IV and V. That would have been irresponsible. Playboy: Is 'Born on the Fourth of July' a redemption of 'Top Gun'? Cruise: They are two different things. 'Top Gun' is a joy ride and shouldn’t be looked at beyond that. 'Born' is about real people and real events. 'Top Gun' should be looked at as going on Space Mountain—it’s like a simple fairy tale. Playboy: A lot of boys have gone off to war to that kind of drumbeat. That is the history of war—young, callow kids marching off to a fairy-tale glory as in Top Gun. Cruise: Think of that: I am totally responsible for World War Three [laughs]! Come on. Let’s look at the reality of what I am saying—where my beliefs lie. I didn’t have anything riding on 'Top Gun'. The fact is, I really want people to see 'Born on the Fourth of July'—it’s a movie that had to be made." (Tom Cruise's interview to playboy, 1990 taken from Gizmodo) (He did star in a sequel in 2022 - "Top Gun: Maverick" as we all know) P.S: Happy 64th birthday, Tom Cruise!
