Famous movie star, Tom Cruise, has built his decades long movie career on the idea of reducing the use of computer effects. He has done this to give the viewer the best experience possible.
Cruise has produced many hit movies with more than 10 movies breaking 350 million dollars in profit. His most recent movie, “Top Gun: Maverick,” grossed more than 1 billion dollars.
“I’ve never done work for money ever. If your choices are based on grosses and the film doesn’t do well, what does that mean? It leaves you with nothing.” When Tom Cruise chose to take 2 years’ worth of aviation training in three months instead of using a green screen, he based it off this idea. He wasn’t working for what was the “best” overall, but for what was the best quality. This undoubtedly contributed to his illustrious career as an actor.
He demonstrated this idea again when he held his breath underwater for six minutes in “Mission: Impossible — Rogue Nation” and when he jumped from one building to another in “Mission: Impossible — Fallout,” which broke his ankle.
Cruise’s immutable stance on streaming is another way he holds the viewer first. Streaming has built a massive fanbase in the past couple years. In November of 2021 only 15% of 18 and older respondents strongly preferred streaming over the movie theater. However, in June of 2020, 36% of the respondents strongly preferred streaming. Despite this, Tom Cruise refuses to make movies for big streaming platforms such as Netflix. He said, “I make movies for the big screen,” since he believes it provides a better experience for the watcher.
While most movies are known for the characters in the movie, Tom Cruise movies are known for the actor and not the character he plays. An astronomical feat which is what sets him apart from other actors. Foreseeably, Tom Cruise’s mindset has made him the third richest actor in the world.
