and in that case you can still talk about people like sydney pollack or alan pakula even barry levinsons working in that classic hollywood style. james? toback: i actually was thinking i find that an interesting core for a defition. i was thinking of a couple of aspects of, um, distinction between the hollywood style and to set it against something the personal style. the hollywood film is always grounded in narrative, always grounded in story first where the story exists and the characters exist to serve the story to move it along whereas in a certain kind of personal filmmaking that is outside that hollywood style, the story is a by-product of the characters and the characters are the reason... or character at the center of the movie is the reason for making that movie. the hollywood style says "tell me what the story is..." story is becoming outmoded in the hollywood style. "tell me what the gimmick is, tell me what the technology is or tell me the angle." but not, "tell me who this person is." i actually do find that a useful way of defining the notion of hollywood. now, joan, for y

and then jonathan pollack, the current acting director of the thornton center, somebody i must say onal level when he was out in the wilds of california which is someplace beyond the appalachians, i think -- [laughter] i used to turn to his writings when he was at rand to really understand what was going on in northeast asia. i didn't know him then. but i was always, i found myself always in agreement which, of course, moment his writing was really terrific. [laughter] but without further ado, jeff, please. >> um, thanks, alan. and it's daunting coming up here after that first really outstanding panel which had three presentations which each took different perspectives on the situation in the wake of the party congress and complemented each other really magnificently. i want to say briefly at the outset how i see the current shape of the u.s./china relationship. i see it as basically in decent shape. i don't see the downward spiral or rising confrontation that i read about frequently in the media and some scowly commentary both in the united states and in china. to illustrate that, "t

(todd mccarthy) and suddenly the next day, redford and sydney pollack and universal and everyone is justalling him up. i don't find turning the tables very interesting. well, i do. tell me why, graham. why? his life is never going to be the same again. after that one screening, it all changes like that. a lot of people approached me about doing things at a lot of different places, which was interesting. i chose to make "kafka" which i had read many years ago and decided i was going to cash in my orange ticket. (piano music playing) (clicking of typewriter) "kafka" just appealed to me because it was different from "sex, lies." radically different. it would take me out of the country, so i wouldn't have anybody watching me. it could be made independently. oh, kafka, will we see you in the cabaret? (steven soderbergh) i knew physically it would be a very difficult film to make, and i wanted that because "sex, lies" had been so easy. what are you working on? oh, a man who wakes up and finds he's a giant insect. (steven soderbergh) its commercial failure was interesting, it almost didn't coun

i won't discuss those because i believe jonathan, jonathan pollack will do so in depth in his presentation. what do we expect them president obama's second term and she champagnes first. the main variable and the relationship is china. president obama has had for years to formulate and put in place an approach towards china. in broad terms it is consistent with that of his predecessor since president nixon. its main features are welcoming attitude towards china's rising willingness to accept the larger role for china internationally and insistence that china's rice be consistent with international law and norms. it deepens u.s. presence in engagements in the asia-pacific region including international organizations like the east asia summit, strengthens alliances and partnerships with china's neighbors, gradual development of military to military relations. openness to chinese investments in the 90s they, appointments and protectionist measures that rattle markets for greater willingness than predecessors to street germany's in wto dispute mechanisms. there's little reason to expect a dram

it raises the question how are you going to get beyond the 1% in development and foreign aid that pollackdescribes? there was a proposal in washington in 2009, early 2010 to combine the element diplomacy defense budgets together and allowed the administration that's come up lurcher between secretary gave a secretary clinton, about the administration to have that money so your initial instinct was not necessarily be a military solution to every problem. of course it ran up immediately against congressional committees responsible for certain budgets, but also just a concern about whether or not that would affect the mix in a way many people in washington were not comfortable with it the idea died. might be time to bring it back. >> i will comment on several of these on afghanistan. the point i would adhere as you think back about the investment we made. you make a point about the commitment of strategy. moid mid we made a significant investment. what we invested in term of blood and treasure on her part does not go for not. and secondly, we have an investment in term of stability in the reg

is there a possibility this can >> very quick question for jonathan pollack. and i correct in interpreting what you said as saying one of the major developments in the military promotions is to have promoted people who are very innovative in their thinking, or did i misread that? >> no. they have promoted the -- >> go ahead. >> the have identified people who have been instrumental in different kinds -- at least at implementation or experimentation on the shape of things to come, and how military forces are put together and made more credible. on the question of vietnam, you asked about three questions. vietnam is not a u.s. ally. we throw around the term "ally" too loosely. clearly, vietnam has become a partner and collaborator of the united states. much of that is to be encouraged. the reasons for that -- again, as jeff noted before, people will say it is about china -- there are inherent reasons why the united states was to build a relationship with china that go well beyond china. i think they are part of a bigger story. that said, obviously whether or not
