So you see from the aforementioned quote that I value the script, it's
what gets the ball rolling when an interested producer gets hold of
it. I believe Sternberg's views are not representive of most directors, who don't come across nearly as arrogant and self-serving.
In fact, I think if he watched his own films with a objective eye, they would belie him to
some extent - a film with little relation to a script is visual chaos. However, a
script is certainly not sacrosant, it is altered, deleted, rearranged, rewritten, etc.
in a lot of ways by producers, directors and even by actors sometimes
throughout the production process.
As for the quality of films in general, it's a wonder that as many
good films are made as there are, simply because of the large number
of varying people who can make or break a film over the several years
it takes for such multi-million dollar projects to be accomplished.
Lots and lots of risk involved, everything ultimately falls on the
producer, who must see the whole project through from beginning to
end, and he or she is constantly under pressure from the studio to get
it done ON TIME and WITHIN BUDGET.
