Care to explain what "handouts" the film industry has gotten, or how it could possibly make any difference? |
Massive tax breaks totaling billions upon untold billions of dollars? Grants from the NEA (i.e. the taxpayer) and the like to do all sorts of bizzarre, experimental (and commercially un-viable and mostly un-watchable), material? Direct film and television financing by the governments of Canada and France (to name just two)?
I don't think I even have to explain the 'make any difference' part as I'm sure you can probably figure that out on your own based on these few examples. (There are more, but I think I've made his point.)
