How does that help make a good story?
How? That's my question. I respect Kubrick, Cameron and Spielberg a whole lot but the question revolves around how do awards and attention from non-fans service the story?
I don't think there are bad stories either. But, I question how awards improve the story?
Sorry. They way you originally phrased it was highly confusing.
The assumption seems to be that once we get someone like Spielberg then awards then profits...it's very confusing or at least begs the assumption that if these directors do it then the story is automatically good and awards will flow.
I wont disagree with you except to say that in the case of the MPL loss, it was using two systems that was the problem. . They could have gone with either imperial or si. JPL and its contractors weren't the only ones that ran into that problem. Most of the world still uses the foot for altitude measurements in aircraft altitude while everything else is metric.
Robert Wise and J.J. Abrams are both pretty big names. Spielberg makes Spielberg movies, except when he makes Kubrick movies. Kubric and Cameron always did their own thing too. In fact Wise is a good example why a distinctive style director isn't always a good thing for Trek.
