Making movies is just like betting on horses at the racetrac

Summary

This quote suggests that the process of making movies is a risky and unpredictable endeavor, similar to placing bets on horses at a racetrack. Like betting on horses, making movies involves taking chances, making investments, and hoping for successful outcomes. Just as gamblers never really know which horse will win, filmmakers can never be certain of the success or failure of their creations. Both require a mix of skill, strategy, and luck, where the results are uncertain and can greatly vary, making the comparison between the two activities valid.

After having thus successively taken each member of the comm

After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp, and fashioned them at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided: men are seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting: such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd.
