Please answer these 3 easy movie opinion questions?
Question by Harry>Edward: Please answer these 3 easy movie opinion questions?
For those that are wondering, this is for proving this one idiot wrong
1. What is more important, how much money a studio makes for a movie in the worldwide box office, or how much money that movie makes just in North America?
2. Is it innappropriate for a movie that shows a 16 year old being given some mead by a boarding school professor in England, does the fact that the drinking age is 21 in the US have any relevance?
3. Is the Best Makeup Oscar just as prestigious as the Best Picture Oscar, and is a movie that won Best Makeup always better than a movie that hasn’t won any oscars?
For question #2, I’m not talking why the film is made. I’m saying is it innappropriate for American minors to see 16 year olds drinking in England (and not actually getting drunk)
Best answer:
Answer by — Dan72 — They Made Me Do It
1. Its the total profit that counts. Not all films are for an American audience so that must be taken into account.
2. No relevance to why the film is made. 21 may be the drinking age in the US but it’s a lot younger in most other countries.
3. Makeup is the least important Oscar. The best pictures Oscar is the most important one in my mind. The makeup Oscar was introduced after ‘An American Werewolf in London’ was made. It didn’t fit into any other category so they made a new one for it which it then obviously won.
**** edit *******
Of all the inappropriate things American films show I hardly think an english kid of 16 drinking is going to make much difference. If you think of a worldwide audience then it’s very difficult to show anything on film without it offending someone.
