IRISH CINEMA IS JUST 'HOLLYWOOD PASTICHE'!
If there's one 'standout problem' with most Irish movies it's that they are basically weak versions of Hollywood movies. By definition they can never be as 'good' because Hollywood has the stars, scriptwriters, glamour, awards, publicity, and genre. The system in Ireland is set up to produce these 'Hollywood pastiche' films. Stuff that no-one really likes and fails commercially at the box office. The system in Ireland is set up to avoid producing films that are NOT Hollywood pastiche. No-one abroad will take us seriously as a filmmaking nation when we continue to produce Hollywood pastiche cinema. The only way to stand out is to start producing feature films that are new, fresh, different, unique, original, and confuse because audiences have seen nothing like it before?
