I was reading some of the famous quotes by filmmakers. I came across this quote, "If my films make one more person miserable, I'll feel I have done my job." - Woody Allen I don't quite understand what he means by "one more person miserable". Does he mean protagonist's suffering here? Thanks.

Started with 'Celtx' (free, easy to use). Now using 'Final Draft'.

Please ignore my comment. I found this movie in Amazon Prime.

Thank you for your reply. I just gave Titanic as an example. There are few other movies that comes to my mind that I don't remember seeing the song in the movie. Maybe like you said, it might have been disguised. But I would like to know, whether all the academy nominated songs must come in the...

Songs that get nominated for Academy, do the song have to be in the movie? I know songs like 'Jai Ho' (Slumdog Millionaire, 2008), 'Let It Go' (Frozen, 2013) appeared in the movie, but I don't remember seeing 'whether My Heart Will Go On' (Titanic, 1997) song in the movie. (I watched this...
