Even if you try to copy a film shot by shot, you still can’t. It’s still your own film Picture Quote #1

I find it interesting, the different rules that apply to journalism and drama, even though journalism has become more and more about entertainment, and entertainment has become more and more about journalism Picture Quote #1
