"Life isn't like in the movies. Life... is much harder."

...said Alfredo, the projectionist in Giuseppe Tornatore's Cinema Paradiso (1988). Though movies are not like life, they have immense influence on each other. Motion pictures shape our point of view, culture, thinking, habits, taste. Even if we do not notice it. This is what the blog's title wants to express: I took the thread of life [spun, measured, cut by the Parcae (Fates) from the Roman mythology] and repleaced it by a '35 mm film'.

You will read stories of various people whose life has been changed by a particular movie. The stories will not only be about ordinary people of the street, but Hungarian directors, actors, or other folks who were once part of the cast & crew list of a film.

Professionals will also talk about the current situation in Hungarian movie industry, its economcs, how it works. However, this is an oximoron, since it does not work. I am after the answers: why not, what the solutions might be.
