gruveyman2 ( comment below ) you be a complete idiot . blind by ignorance by the very city you have allegiance to . it that whiny arrogance and that you be ironically claim the film exude about sf and that make you seem like such the typical la ahole . the only reason you felt the film be so self congratulatory about sf be because you be jealous . of course you do not know it because you be so la jaded . first of all the film be completely factual about a beautiful city while what have be film there and what have be film by some of it more famous local . it say nothing bad about la while and these accomplish director choose to live in a beautiful city over la . they recognize that they go to film school in la and be obviously proud of that fact . they recognize that sf be close to la which be a benefit . the only negative thing that be say that relate to la and be about the studio executive . the same studio executive that hat these guy movie when they first saw them and but then those same movie go on to be huge world wide gross film . so why wouldn not they have animosity towards the studio executive establishment and studio system . these be the only people they be try to disassociate from and for good reason . don not be so sensitive . how can you say that francis ford coppola be the so called san francisco director . how be he not to be consider that . and who direct the godfather . coppola do . it be his vision that tell the story on the screen that win it a best picture award . so what who give him the job . he admit it in the documentary that he do not even want to do the movie . so what your point . and so what if sophia want to live in la . and that prove your point how . and tell me how they be not truly independent when they be fund a lot of their own movie . movie that be now consider classic . and and when they make movie from studio funding and one and it be la that come to them and say we want you to make these picture and two and they use the money that they make from do these picture to fund their own . they say exactly that in the film . your bitchy and self congratulatory whine would take on an air of great self respect and credence if you never set foot on the ground you so claim to be superior to in this film . how the hell can bitchy ness and self congratulation suddenly have an air of self respect and credence . if they never go to la again . what a stupid and senseless comment . you insert some big word in there . and just do not know how to use them . and and by the way and they never claim nor imply they be superior to la . so what if they be give a guy from new york an award in la . again what the hell be your point . so if they go to la or new york they be hypocrite by simply prefer to live in sf . you make no sense . san francisco be proud of itself and it heritage and the people who make it what it be today . this film just focus on one aspect . film making . for you to take the time and type up such nasty comment about the city ( not the movie . but the city and it people ) only prove what it be we northern californian hate about people from la . this be a great documentary . very interesting and especially if you be from the bay area . but i recommend it to anyone .
