if we took "Hollywood stars" out of great film and replaced them with brilliant unknown actors a whole world of meaning, depth & emotion and might be available to the viewers.
It is as if we are cut off from a suspension of disbelief as viewers as we sit there distracted by these celebrity icon's faces.
I was watching a so so film called "Billion Dollar Baby" and at no time could my attention escape from the fact that I was looking at this interesting old face belonging to Hollywood royalty "Clint Eastwood" or Mrs. Vulnerable Honest Emotion "Hillary Swank"
If we took them out of the mix - It seems to me that a whole new dimension of the story might emerge, which is trapped by the presence of these icons.
Besides the titillation of star gazing, are Hollywood icons holding back the show? (And I am NOT saying they are not talented gifted actors that make a contribution ). I am thinking that something precious is lost by their celebrity presense.
Agree or disagree
