Is there a more tragic figure in the industry?

Michael Cimino
Bane?
Fucking retarded is a better term to use
>>63957998
Is Heaven's Gate worth the hours of my life? Many critics have backpedaled on the film and now brand it as a "masterpiece".
>>63957955
What's so tragic about being a multimillionaire and also the second biggerst shareholder of Disney?

It's almost as if some people think money isn't sufficient for a good life.
>>63957955
JUST

I liked it, but I can see it's not a blockbuster>>63958163

Lucas clearly did. He didn't fuck up his franchise out of incompetence.
>>63957955
Does he regret the prequels?
That guy who played Darth Vader for one
>>63958115
>million
Bro he be a billionaire
>>63957955
>is rich as fuck
>most tragic figure in the industry
lol no
>>63958163
Having TONS of money is sufficient for a good life, if you're not mentally ill.
I don't see how 4 billion dollars makes it tragic
>>63958192
Not openly, but you can tell he's dead inside

I would have never seen the original cut which ran for all those useless hours. I saw the pre-Criterion DVD cut and it was pretty bad though. I've heard the one Criterion put out last year isn't bad but I don't really care enough to revisit the film.
>>63957955
There's nothing tragic about 4 fucking billions
>>63958199
Holy shit, I just looked it up
nigga is worth more than Spielberg
>>63957955
George's turboautism did it to himself, so no, it's not tragic at all.
>>63958250
He individually owns a little over or under 2 percent of the entire disney empire-stock
He makes a billion just from that, every year.
>>63958277
Man why couldn't he get rich AND make good movies?
>>63958346
He waited too long to try again and a lot of the things that helped him, he lost.
He mostly needed something to do with himself and figured why not.
His ex-wife is still a cheating whore though.
Mel Gibson
>bisexual Christian artist living in soviet union
>has the most fucked up hair
>makes his first film, it gets lost
>forced to make propaganda films
>makes two propaganda masterpieces
>James Joyce himself proposes Eisenstein adapt the author's hugely influential modernist novel Ulysses
>he never gets a chance
>starts working on a structural masterpiece, October
>forced to put it on hold for The General Line, a propaganda piece to celebrate Trotsky's collectivized farms
>by the time he finishes The General Line Trotsky is no longer a hero and thus the film is reedited in order not to honor him
>Eisenstein finishes October - it is a masterpiece, the film is considered too confusing and bourgeois and is reedited to remove all reference to the recently purged Trotsky
>begins next film, Bezhin Lug
>considered "profoundly hostile to socialism" and production is stopped, reels are eventually destroyed
>next film Alexander Nevsky is a WW2 propaganda piece
>Eisenstein is watched carefully to make sure he doesn't "stray into formalism"
>next film is Que Viva Mexico
>literally too much goes on Que Viva Mexico for me to bother describing, he gets fucked by many people in multiple countries
>next film is grand historical epic Ivan The Terrible to be directed in 3-parts
>it is set to be a masterpiece
>Eisenstein portrays "Ivan" as "terrible"
>Stalin is outraged, has Part 2 banned and Part 3 halted in production and destroyed
>dies of a heart attack
Could Jett Lucas become something George never was? Could he fulfill his father's destiny?
