Clooney mourns movie 'golden age' Oscar-winning actor George Clooney has said that Hollywood is no longer making film "masterpieces".
The star, nominated at this year's Academy Awards for his role in Michael Clayton, told Radio Times "they don't make those films any more".
Clooney said his golden age of cinema is 1964-76, when "you could find 10 films a year that were masterpieces".
well, George, although you are unlikely to read this, let's have a think about why this is the case, shall we? could it not be because of you and all your chums forcing the agenda? i mean, it's admirable that you spend your time campaigning on issues like Dafur and what not, but by doing so you "politically concerned" actors have more or less forced the film studios into a situation whereby to get a film made with "big" names in it, the film has to have some sort of overt or covert agenda and social, political or environmental statement in it.
basically, film makers no longer have the freedom they once had to create and present their own vision, they have to cater for incorporating statements that sensitive egos like yours require to make it acceptable to appear in.
Mr Clooney, either get on with the business of being just an actor, or quit acting and concentrate on your political whims. forcing the two together is why "masterpieces of cinema" are no longer possible, and it is not quite the case that all your chest beating political comments have made so much as the slightest margin of difference, is it?
