    Success in hollywood blocbusters is determined by how many people will pay to see a certain actor.

      I was talking about art. That still happens occasionally in Hollywood. People forget bad films regardless of marketing budget but art stands the test of time.

        Ehhhh i still kinda disagree. Sometimes you can see ‘oh that’s obvs just brilliant’. Like for all that duchamp tried to get away from “Art”, his stuff is just obviously visually compelling and looks like art.

        But for the most part, “Art” is whatever rich people think will hold value. In trad art that means whatever will impress other rich people. Cinema is a bit different, but i think we will still mostly see that films that elites can talk about to impress other elites are what “stand the test of time”.
