Not many Hollywood Legends are left in the town but only a few are standing. Clint Eastwood is one of them. And he is really trying to get the producers and directors to work on something new. Eastwood is not just an actor but also a director and producer. He’s been working in the industry for more than 70 years. That means he has witnessed different errors of Hollywood and the movie industry.
In some recent interviews, Eastwood had really different thoughts. Because back in the old days they were really good movies just like Casablanca. Nowadays people don’t make movies like that. According to Eastwood back in the days everyone had great ideas and they were passionate about their work.
Now is the time we producers are always trying to Create remake of certain old movies or they are making franchises. It’s time that we move on from all of these traditions. Eastwood himself created three sequels. But he’s not interested in them and he wants to do something new or prefers to stay at home.
To be honest, he’s not wrong. Because it is really good to have movies with great ideas. Just taking an example for the movie scene. It was a great movie with a good idea that’s why it crushed the box office.
Back then the movie making industry was not this versatile. Instead of making a screenplay in the bungalow, everyone prefers to ride from their own couch. In this fast industry, everyone wants to make their name and debut in the Hollywood industry. The competition is fierce.
No idea if the producers are more focused on the shareholders than the good ideas and companies. That’s why they look for the content that the people will watch instead of good ideas.
This approach is not good at all. Because according to Eastwood all of these ideas are boring and old. If this continues then any writer who is trying to make their mark cannot survive in the industry. And the movie industry will not get its next big movie.
Actors who have passion for their work are always ready to learn something new. That’s why they are great actors. Eastwood was also in contract with some company and he used to learn something every day. As long as you can learn something new each year you can survive easily.
A true artist makes its mark and keeps on adding stuff and ideas until he has got nothing else on his mind. This is what is required from a good artist. New ideas, and biggest projects are always made when you bring out fresh minds who are willing to risk their capability and work beyond their capacity.
