He sees his record of directing low-budget movies as a quiet rebellion against capitalism
Larry Charles’ films and TV shows tend to have some kind of satirical bent—the man has worked with Sacha Baron Cohen and Larry David a bunch of times, after all—but while speaking with Marc Maron on a recent episode of WTF , Charles revealed that there’s a much more subtle statement he’s making with his movies than anything he had Borat doing.
” He acknowledges that people have to “make their art in the way they can, and they reach each other in the way they can,” but these big media companies know that they can get people to give them money if they’re “seduced by great TV shows and great movies,” so we get “distracted by those things” and forget that what makes them possible is this nefarious capitalist system—which he calls “an authoritarian Big Brother sort of thing” because of how powerful it is.
