Comment on If Tyler Perry is a billionaire with his own successful movie studio then why are his films so bad?

Please invest in reading www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/the-anatomy-of-genres … & then see movies through new eyes, “eyes to see”.

You’ll be astonished at how high a percentage of movies are bad, once one understands what he’s giving, in that, about the 14 genres that the West has anchored on, & why each genre concentrates only on 1 specific dimension of human-meaning.

( & that was the genius of Star Wars: it included multiple-genres of stuff into its Space Western genre, which it created, from scratch )

Truby’s other book, “The Anatomy of Story” is also required for anybody wanting to make story work properly.

People who won’t learn from the best-of-the-best, never reach their true-potential, because they’re hobbling their leverage.

Ego consistently hobbles leverage, in order to assert that it didn’t “need” any other.

That’s like ignoring math, while designing aircraft: incompetent.

Stand on the heads of giants, & reach farther into the “sky” of our potential.

Those 2 books ought be required-reading in highschool.
