Reading articles on foreign cinema and taking notes

- I had no idea so many films from so many different countries were re made into Hollywood films
- Its disappointing but not unbelievable that Hollywood lacks unoriginality and has to take ideas from other cultures and countries.
- Apparently the long running tradition of Hollywood remaking foreign language films shows no sign of actually ending
- Apparently in France if your movie has been remade into a hollywood film you have really hit success and stardom
- Some believe that the Hollywood version can actually be better than the original
- There are differences between Hollywood and Bollywood
- "almost everything in Hollywood is at least slightly ironic"
- Bollywood is much less ironic "There is very little irony and a good deal of patriarchy"
-  everything in Hollywood is modern or post modern
- "Bollywood is almost entirely about money, much more so than Hollywood. Often Mob Money
- "Bollywood has a poetic quality of song lyrics"
- "Good poetry is a marginal elite taste in hollywood"
- "Bollywood movies often fail artistically because they showcase unprocessed national insecurities and identity formation issues"
- "Hollywood movies often fail artistically because of American complacency, insularity and assumed natural cultural superiority."
- Hollywood seems to be going downhill due to Americas own narcissism
- "Bollywood movies have unstable, shifting genres that reflect the varied and unstable subcultures of a modernizing and fragmenting India."
