Thanks to technology, one of the industries that has developed the most in recent years is entertainment. In it, cinema may be the area that has undergone the greatest changes. The formats have evolved. Implementation resources have also changed. The audience has changed. In short, the way we understand business has changed, and with it the way we offer products. At the last actor Matt Damon reflected in the program First we feast.
This was a brief comment shared by show host Sean Evans while they were eating chicken wings as part of performance what’s going on inside First we feast. Over the bites, Matt Damon and the host are brainstorming. Of those associated with his career, such as filming invincible (2009), to other reflections related to his understanding of the film industry.
One revealing comment towards the sector was the following, regarding the question of why films are no longer being made as they used to be:At that time DVD was an important part of the industry. Technological evolution has made it obsolete. The films we made were heavily invested, because within six months, part of that bet was repaid in DVD sales. It was like a second serve. When it stopped, it changed the type of films we made.”
The “almost” disappearance of the aforementioned format has changed part of the business structure, making it necessary to guarantee the production of a higher amount of money to move the project forward. Otherwise, no progress has been made with it. Previously, this was not the case when choosing a DVD was an alternative to continue earning income and thus offset the high upfront costs. Therefore, the margin of error and somewhat inventiveness in relation to cinematography has been reduced, judging by what can be interpreted from your comment.
Matt Damon Challenge invincible
and sports joke
When the actor analyzed part of his career on the show, he found that one of the most difficult aspects was the emphasis he had to put on. François Pienaarthe character he played invincible. The actor said: “The South African accent is the exact opposite of the American one. If you say “I’ll be right back,” how your tongue slides forward in the US version is different than when you have to retract otherwise. So, it’s something like, “How the hell is that possible?” It took me a lot of practice to achieve this. I took it as part of the job“.
As part of the program and through the sports fund of St. invincible, Matt Damon also shared an anecdote during a Boca Juniors game. This is the team of his wife, Argentinean Luciana Barroso. While visiting his partner’s homeland, the actor asked his wife’s uncle about the possibility of going to see the team at the semi-finals of the tournament. Then the man said to him with a serious and thoughtful face:We can leave… We can leave… Without children and women“.
The interpreter’s reaction was: “What? Why can’t we go with them? Well, I figured it out when we went because there were three police barriers that had different security teams. We had to fight our way through them. There was a huge division between the two areas of the court due to fears that they might attack each other. When the game was over, we waited about 45 minutes to get out. This is the craziest thing I’ve ever seen.”
