The cinema creates a bubble of artificial importance.
It installs the idea that everything can be built fast — too fast.
It imposes the necessary disillusion: ambition without structure attracts predators.
Entering an adult world shaped by power
Cinema, for you, was never a movie theater.
It was an office, a set, a negotiation.
A direct entry into a world where decisions are made behind closed doors, where smiles hide strategies, where promises are tools, not truths.
You arrived too early, in a role beyond your age: executive producer.
A position that demands reading power dynamics, financial stakes, temporary alliances, silent rivalries.
A position where you must decode intentions, strategies, traps.
Cinema taught you the real adult structure:
not fiction,
not glamour,
not dreams,
but the cold mechanics of decisions, budgets, egos, reputations.
It revealed the first violent hierarchy:
those who know,
those who manipulate,
those who use,
those who disappear when you’re no longer useful.
Cinema installs the first professional fall:
believing you’re integrated,
while you’re only tolerated,
until you become inconvenient.
Not a soft lie.
A hard truth.
The truth that the adult world runs on interests, not values.
Cinema didn’t distort your reality.
It showed you reality too early.
