Seth Rogen on ajan saatossa kohonnut elokuva-alalla menestykseen, mutta on vuosien varrella kerännyt myös runsaasti lunta tupaan suorituksistaan. Näihin kritiikkiä saaneisiin lukeutuvat muun muassa Sausage Party ja The Green Hornet. Rogen on nyt kertonut, että negatiivisilla arvioilla on ollut suuri vaikutus häneen ja hänen tuttaviinsa elokuva-alalla. Osa ei ole toipunut koskaan entiselleen.
I think if most critics knew how much it hurts the people that made the things that they are writing about, they would second guess the way they write these things. It's devastating. I know people who have never recovered from it honestly - a year, decades of being hurt by [film reviews]. It's very personal...It is devastating when you are being institutionally told that your personal expression was bad, and that's something that people carry with them, literally, their entire lives and I get why. It f----ng sucks.
Hän vertaa elokuvan ensi-iltaa synnytykseen.
Any opening weekend, it sucks. It's stressful. It's like birth, it's an inherently painful process. That's another funny thing about making movies... life goes on. You can be making another movie as your [current] movie is bombing, which is a funny thing. It's bittersweet. You know things will be ok. You're already working. If the fear is the movie bombs and you won't get hired again, well you don't have to worry about it. But it's an emotional conundrum at times.
