    While most of us watch multiple films a year, if not every single week, the annual number of movies produced each year is staggering. In the US alone, in 2022, there were 1,691 films produced and released. Unless you devote every single day to watching 3 to four films a day, you will simply never be able to see them all.

    And this is just in the US. That same year, India put out a staggering 1,361 films, while Mexico came in third, with 1,289 productions. While you absolutely should explore the cinematic work of other countries, it can be a bit overwhelming, when you realize that most countries have been putting out movies from before we were born.

    This Is The Last Photo Taken Of Hachikō, A Japanese Akita Dog Remembered For His Unwavering Loyalty To His Owner

    This Is The Last Photo Taken Of Hachikō, A Japanese Akita Dog Remembered For His Unwavering Loyalty To His Owner

    Hachikō belonged to Professor Eizaburo Ueno who lived in Shibuya and taught at Tokyo Imperial University during the early 1920s.  Every day, Ueno would walk to Shibuya Station with Hachikō and take the train to work. Once he was done for the day, he would take the train back and return to the station at precisely 3 PM. Hachikō would always be there waiting patiently to accompany the professor home.  One day, Ueno suffered a stroke and never arrived at the station. Hachikō went to the station every day for 9 years until his death in 1935.

    I wonder if they let him see the professor’s dead body so he might have understood he was dead? I have told my family if I die outside the home, they need to let my cats see my dead body as I don’t want them to think I’ve abandoned them!

    However, in terms of pure revenue, no one comes even close to North America. The combined US and Canadian box office market was 25.9 billion dollars in 2022, over three times larger than its closest competitor, the European Union ($7.4 billion in 2022.) For better or worse, this is why cinema and Hollywood are roughly synonymous.

    Joaquin Phoenix once said that he acts partly in order to make his brother River proud. RIP River, he was a great actor in his own right as well.

    Indeed, while many local film productions do suffer from an influx of (predominantly) American films, it’s a testament to just how popular cinema is as a mass-market art form. Economists see the movie industry as incredibly competitive, a winner-take-all bloodbath between production companies. After all, while people will go to many films over a course of a year, it’s not that common to see more than one a day or even a week.

    The Shawshank Redemption is a FANTASTIC movie. Tim Robbins is an understated, fabulous actor. Also, the original short story by Stephen King is absolutely worth a read. Both the short story and the movie are wonderfully crafted.

    Unfortunately, this is also one of the reasons so many films now are remakes, sequels, prequels, or otherwise related to an existing property. If you don’t believe me, find the movie lineup of your nearest cinema and count how many feature films are truly new and untried stories or concepts.

    Joaquin Phoenix is an amazing actor and an all-around good person. He returned to acting partially to honor his brother River Phoenix, who died of an overdose in 1993, dying basically in his brother Joaquin and his sister River's arms.

    However, the flip side of this volatility is that smaller, often independent production companies can pull off smash hits if they release the right product at the right time. This uncertainty does at least push companies to make something new, albeit after they have exhausted their catalog of existing IPs.

    Uniquely, at least in the United States, the majority of workers in Hollywood are part of a union, from writers, all the way to production staff, like camera operators, grips, set designers, and other, intrinsic parts of moviemaking. The International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees (IATSE) has over 150,000 members, for example, making it larger than most large companies.

    Interesting. I can think of a scene from the Bible where this would apply. The moment where Judas reveals who Jesus is to the high priests. For all I know, that may be where the idea came from.

    Similarly, the Screen Actors Guild (SAG), recently in the news for its largely successful writers strike, has around 130,000 members. This allows the actual workforce of Hollywood to protect itself and employ collective bargaining to make sure production companies don’t end up exploiting the thousands of folks involved in the movies we love.

    As massive as these numbers sound, they should underscore just how many people are actually involved in the production of a major film. Setting aside the cast and crew, who can number in the hundreds, there is a vast ocean of auxiliary staff and cottage industries all around filmmaking, from accountants specializing in film accounting to camera repair folks.

    Unrelated, but Salma is feeling the pinch of clothing not meant for larger breasts. The struggle is real, finding cuts or designers that work with true hourglass figures. -speaking with experience.

    This is why such a large part of film content is not exactly about the film itself, but about all the things that end up happening behind the scenes, from drama and struggles to the sheer creativity some productions had to employ to get something to work on camera.

    This tortured me for months. I remember googling around to try and see if Nolan made any official statements about the ending. Then I had this Zen moment where I realized just this - Dom doesn't care if it's real or a dream any more - for him, this is his reality. This is where he wants to be. Mol may be gone, but he has his children with him at last. He feels peace at last. Accepting that made me feel so much better. Whew. I mean, what Christopher Nolan film DOESN'T hit us right in the feels? XD
