Corporate dominance damages film
I was somewhat taken aback by Sasha Simic’s article in the last edition of Socialist Review. Three of the world’s best known and critically acclaimed filmmakers — Martin Scorsese, Francis Ford Coppola and the socialist Ken Loach — have criticised the methods and output of the corporate giant Disney and its franchise outlet Marvel. Sasha criticises the filmmakers but not the corporation.
Amazingly Sasha dismisses the opinions of the three on the basis that he thinks they are being elitist.
