Review of The Big Picture (1989) by Mikhail B — 18 Mar 2012
Not remarkable in any way, this is an invitation to the Hollywood world and a story how movie business is done. A young aspiring movie director wins a prise for his short, and gets an invitation to film a major movie, everybody imposes their views on him and makes him change the main characters, script, camera man, actors, and also betray all of his friends, break up with his his girlfriend, until, one day the whole thing fails and he loses prospects for a promising career and shatters his personal life.
He starts anew, asks his friends of forgiveness, help them film a music video and leaves for a long vacation with his former girlfriend. The music video brings him back to the focus of the movie industry, and as he is not available on the phone, his popularity starts to build up progressively.
By the time he comes back, he is the most wanted man in Hollywood, only this time he wants to stay true to his convictions. Rather an obvious idea spread for one hour and a half with a rather poor performance of the actors.
