Martin Scorsese: Commercial Movie

Martin Scorsese Money Quote saying commercialism is worrisome in filmmaking, forcing a choice between personal preferences and targeting Academy Awards to become wealthy. Martin Scorsese said:
 

 

“The question of commercialism is a source of worry. Must one make a choice, must it be a matter of either setting your sights on winning an Academy Award and becoming a millionaire, or making only the movies you want to make and starving to death?” — Martin Scorsese

In this quote, Martin Scorsese is discussing the tension that filmmakers often face between commercial success and artistic integrity. He notes that there is a worry that in order to be financially successful in the film industry, one has to choose between prioritizing winning awards and making money, versus solely making the films they are passionate about without concern for commercial factors.

Scorsese suggests this can often feel like an either/or choice between financial reward or potential financial ruin if a film is not commercially viable. He questions whether filmmakers truly have to make this difficult choice or if there could be a middle ground.

I hope you can be a millionaire or billionaire. Not a problem. But at least pay your fair share! Chip in a little bit! ” — Joe Biden

Joe Biden is talking about large, profitable corporations in the United States that pay little to no taxes each year. He says that there are 55 corporations that make $40 billion or more annually but pay “not a cent” in taxes. Biden acknowledges that he supports capitalism and does not have a problem with people becoming millionaires or billionaires through their businesses.

However, he believes these very large, profitable corporations should still pay their “fair share” in taxes and “chip in a little bit” to support public services and infrastructure that help enable their business success. Overall, the quote expresses Biden’s view that extremely profitable corporations should contribute more in taxes rather than avoiding them entirely.
