What I've learnt about the film industry:
One important thing I have learnt about the film industry from reading Mark Kermode's excerpt is the pressure put on modern filmmaking to do well financially and how that can cause filmmakers to make films that pander to a modern audience. Studios also appear to use the media to build up a lot of hype for films and to draw audiences in, such as, on 'Pearl Harbour', circulating rumours like "Michael Bay quit the project four times over various budgetary disputes", suggesting to audiences that the amount of money put into the film was controversially excessive and thus the film would be fairly spectacular. This is also shown in a studio's reluctance to let any director make a project he feels strongly about without a strong record of success with other projects.
