What was the last original movie you saw and how did you watch it?

There was a theory somewhere that this is about power play. If you produce Spiderman 245, power shifts away from the director and towards the production company. Less artistic freedom, more money management. If you let the director create their own movie, they are mostly in charge of how things go, movies become more artistic and less focused on money (alone).

I have nothing to confirm this and don't remember the source I have that from except "the internet"
