I am altering the deal…pray I don’t alter it any further
- Her probably
Capitalism is when the profits from the movie go to the people who put money into the film in the beginning. That’s the people who already had money!
We need an economic system where the profits from the movie go to the people who actually did the work, regardless of how much money they already have.
The theory is that the people putting the money into it are the ones taking the risk. If you sign on as an employee you get paid no matter if the film is a flop that never makes its budget back or an unexpected success.
If the rates are low, she could have potentially negotiated a clause in her the contract for a cut of the profits or a bonus. Alec Guiness did that for Star Wars when no one anticipated how big a hit it would become and made millions. But the Art Director in the article is now looking at things in hindsight when it’s easy to say what she should/could/would have done.
Yeah according to her logic, if the film did really badly, she now has to pay back her wages. lmao
Some people can afford to risk 750 thousand dollars. Some people are living paycheck to paycheck and can’t afford to risk one day’s work. Capitalism is supposed to be fair because you get back what you’re willing to risk. But it’s not fair, because we didn’t all start with the same privileges.
If you can’t afford to risk 750 thousand dollars on a movie, then the system is working against you.
By that logic, she’d get nothing because art directors only tell other people to work lol
You mean a contract?
It think that everyone who made the film possible should share equally in the spoils, regardless of what contract they signed.
Bruh she worked a total of 20 days
You signed the contract
In today’s upside down topsy turvy world, some judge will probably rescind the contract.
Wack
