Our society is probably as exciting and intelligent
as Mozart's or Ghandi's. Why, then, do
the movie makers keep making brilliant movies
about the past and relatively awful movies about
the 1980's? And why are the bad ones made in
• L.A.? ;
This year at college, an argument erupted between
two of my residence floormates. One of
them was a typical engineering student — rightwing,
hard-working and serious. The other was a
typical arts student — well-travelled, opinionated
and argumentative. "Amadeus" had just won the
Best Picture category of the Academy Awards.
The engineering student wondered why allof these ,
"artsy" foreign films kept winning the Academy
Awards. "Why not more American movies?" he
asked.
. "Because American films aren't good enough,"
answered the arts student. And so the argument
began.
The big American movies, the movies that 98
per cent of North America likes, get shuffled
under the seats of Academy Awards'judges - they
are selectively ignored, to be frank. Now it's obvious
that a film Hke "Flashdance" can't compete
on an artistic level with "Amadeus", but what
about "Tootsie''? There was a film we could all

appreciate. It was funny and intelligent.
"Ghandi" won Best Movie that year - yes,
another foreign film. Are American films con-
sistently inferior to foreign films, or are Academy
Awards' judges consistently prejudiced against
American films? Who's right - the engineer or the
arts student?
I agree with both of them.. The unfortunate
truth is that American film makers aren't even trying
to create an artistic product. They, for the
most part, rely on cheap gimmicks - sloppy sentiment,
sexuality and shocking violence - in order to
sell their movies. And those movies do sell.
"Amadeus" did pretty good tOo. 1 just wish
American film makers could see, that North
America is ente!;tained by more than sex, violence
and bad language. If they ever do, we might be
surprised by the kind of movie that entertains us -
and wins Academy Awards. Maybe a great film
about Western society in the 1980s.
Nah, Even Brian DePalma wouldn't try
something that's shocking.
