Title: Obst is "Part of the Problem"
Review: We used to have a saying during the halcyon days of the 60's, "If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem". Obst is clearly the latter. She cynically justifies and defends Hollywood's archaic and byzantine practices as if they were the result of some divine inevitability, rather than acknowledging the reality that they evolved by accident and that they serve no purpose.I agree wholeheartedly with the Reader who found her account self-serving. Obst is never wrong about anything. She is truly a legend in her own mind!That's too bad, because she has some valid points to make.You would be far better off reading a book by a true movie maker, director Sidney Lumet. It's called "Making Movies".
