 | Movie Wars by Jonathan Rosenbaum
In this argument, author Jonathan Rosenbaum asserts that film studios, critics, and advertisers have formed a cartel that controls the types of films that are made and released to the public. Feeling that the vast selection of American movies lacks diversity, he reasons that movie-goers have no control over which types of movies they watch. He also accuses critics of accepting bribes, film festivals of hosting popularity contests, and market researchers of manipulating the creative processes of filmmaking. AUTHOR: Jonathan Rosenbaum
