How can you possibly even claim that? Many foreign countries produce movies outside of the Hollywood Movie Industry, and they are doing fine. Many of the great films in the medium's history are relatively cheap, produced outside of a big film industry, and made with no expectations of turning a crazy profit. It's not "idiotic movie industry that makes 200 million dollar budget movies" or "nothing". There is *shock* a healthy middle ground that produces movies that actually have artistic merits. What, Hollywood isn't going to have the money to make Transformers? Who gives a shit? Who the fuck cares about any of these bloated pieces of garbage that will be forgotten in ten years. Christ. Even the middle ground, indy films, the films that cost maybe 1 million dollars as whole, are only even able to be made and paid for because they will eventually make that money back to the investors or the independent studio that paid for it. If you take away any profit what so ever and make movies 100% free to anyone, no one makes any money. The grips and all the skilled workers within the industry who use their expertise to make the sets, set up the lights, build the special effects, the stunt doubles. Everyone will be out of a job. If they can no longer make a living off of their love, then they will have to turn to other ways to survive. Good luck finding a crew for a movie if no one's willing to pay the crew. Good luck trying to get a movie made in a world were movies turn no profit. As I stated before, it'd become an art form that could only be accomplished by artists who are already rich. You may not care about the big budget films, but even the little budget films would be hurt by this eventually. Those precious films of yours that aren't "bloated" and aren't done by Hollywood. Say good bye to them in the future if everyone decides they no longer want to pay for them.
