Quote by Renny Harlin

There were a lot of people dreaming about making films, and they would finance maybe 6 films a year. Because they were funded by the government, the films sort-of had to deal with serious social issues - and, as a result, nobody went to see those films.

Summary

This quote reflects the challenge faced by filmmakers who relied on government funding to finance their projects. With a limited number of films being funded each year, the filmmakers were compelled to address serious social issues in their work as per the requirement set by the government. However, this emphasis on socially significant themes resulted in a lack of audience appeal, leading to a disinterest among viewers. The quote highlights the struggle between artistic expression and the need to attract audiences and suggests that the rigid funding criteria impacted the popularity and success of these films.

The great commitment is so much easier than the ordinary, everyday one -- and can all too easily shut our hearts to the latter. A willingness to make the ultimate sacrifice can be associated with, and even produce, a great hardness of heart. You thought you were indifferent to praise for achievements which you would not yourself have counted to your credit, or that, if you should be tempted to feel flattered, you would always remember that the praise far exceeded what the events justified. You thought yourself indifferent -- until you felt your jealousy flare up at his naive attempts to make himself important, and your self-conceit stood exposed. Concerning the hardness of the heart -- and its littleness -- let me read with open eyes the book my days are writing, and learn.
