Good is the wine that is in love with us,
and good is bread, our generous friend;
and good the woman who brings us torment
yet yields her sweetness to us in the end.
But what are we to do with sunset fires?
With joys that can’t be eaten, drunk or kissed?
And what are we to do with deathless verse?
We stand and watch — as mysteries slip past.
Just as some boy too young to know of love
will leave his play to gaze, his heart on fire,
at maidens swimming in a lake, and gaze
and gaze, tormented by obscure desire;
or as within the gloom of ancient jungle
some earthbound beast once slithered from its lair
with wing buds on its back, still tightly closed,
and let out cries of impotent despair;
so year on year — how long, Lord, must we wait? —
beneath the surgeon’s knife of art and nature,
our flesh is wasted and our spirit howls
as one more sense moves slowly to creation.
Прекрасно в нас влюбленное вино
И добрый хлеб, что в печь для нас садится,
И женщина, которою дано,
Сперва измучившись, нам насладиться.
Но что нам делать с розовой зарей
Над холодеющими небесами,
Где тишина и неземной покой,
Что делать нам с бессмертными стихами?
Ни съесть, ни выпить, ни поцеловать.
Мгновение бежит неудержимо,
И мы ломаем руки, но опять
Осуждены идти всё мимо, мимо.
Как мальчик, игры позабыв свои,
Следит порой за девичьим купаньем
И, ничего не зная о любви,
Всё ж мучится таинственным желаньем;
Как некогда в разросшихся хвощах
Ревела от сознания бессилья
Тварь скользкая, почуя на плечах
Еще не появившиеся крылья;
Так, век за веком — скоро ли, Господь? —
Под скальпелем природы и искусства,
Кричит наш дух, изнемогает плоть,
Рождая орган для шестого чувства.
has evolved from a content aggregator to a production behemoth. With over 200 original productions released annually, Netflix operates on a data-driven model. Their algorithm analyzes viewer habits to greenlight niche genres that traditional studios avoid—from the German sci-fi Dark to the Korean survival drama Squid Game . The latter became Netflix’s biggest production ever, proving that language is no barrier to popularity. Netflix’s studio model prioritizes volume and completion rates (how many viewers finish a show) over critical acclaim, though productions like The Crown and Stranger Things manage to achieve both.

Their "production pipeline" is arguably the most efficient in history. A Marvel production ( Avengers: Endgame ) isn't just a film; it is a culmination of 22 interconnected productions. Disney’s strategy highlights a major trend in popular studios: transmedia storytelling , where a single production (like WandaVision ) impacts box office for an upcoming film ( Doctor Strange 2 ).

Demon Slayer: Mugen Train (produced by Ufotable and distributed by Aniplex) briefly became the highest-grossing film globally during the pandemic.

As technology democratizes filmmaking, the only constant remains the studio's core mission: to tell stories that capture the collective imagination. Whether that story is a purple titan snapping his fingers or a gray-suited auditor fighting an overstuffed teddy bear (a real A24 production), the studios that adapt will survive. The golden age of entertainment production is not in the past—it is happening right now, streaming in 4K on a device near you.
