film-makers versus the manipulations films have suffered from the origins of the cinema to the total domination of the audiovisual world. "Filmmakers vs. Tycoons" combines different types of film language: archive material, key fragments of films, and fictional scenes, such as that set in the Court of Felipe II when the Monarch cuts down a cinemascope picture by Titian on both sides because it doesn't fit into the space he had kept for it in El Escorial. The King of Spain thus became the inventor of panning-scanning which, in our time, alters the original format of films. Watch Movies Online for Free on 10StarMovies.
