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.

I believe that in the history of art and of thought there has always been at every living moment of culture a will to renewal. This is not the prerogative of the last decade only. All history is nothing but a succession of crises -- of rupture, repudiation and resistance. When there is no crisis, there is stagnation, petrifaction and death. All thought, all art is aggressive.
