== Film career ==
=== 1970s: Early work and creation of Miramax ===
Both Weinstein brothers had grown up with a passion for movies, and they desired to enter the film industry. In the late 1970s, using profits from their concert promotion business, the brothers created a small independent film distribution company named ], named after their parents, Miriam and Max.<ref name="auto"/> The company's first releases were primarily music-oriented concert films such as ]'s '']''.<ref>{{cite book|first=Alisa|last=Perren|title=Indie, Inc.: Miramax and the Transformation of Hollywood in the 1990s|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=KIxjwKqGXQ4C&pg=PA21|date=May 15, 2012|publisher=University of Texas Press|isbn=978-0-292-74287-1|page=21}}</ref>

=== 1980s: Success with arthouse and independent films ===
In the early 1980s, Miramax acquired the rights to two British films of benefit shows filmed for the human rights organization ]. Working closely with ], the producer of the original films, the Weinstein brothers edited the two films into one movie tailored for the American market. The resulting film was released as '']'' in May 1982, and it became Miramax's first hit. The movie raised considerable sums for Amnesty International and was credited by Amnesty with having helped to raise its profile in the United States.<ref name="biskind" /><ref name=Mason/>]]]The Weinsteins slowly built upon this success throughout the 1980s with ] that achieved critical attention and modest commercial success. Harvey Weinstein and Miramax gained wider attention in 1988 with the release of ]' documentary '']'', which detailed the struggle of ], a wrongfully convicted inmate sentenced to ]. The publicity that soon surrounded the case resulted in Adams' release and nationwide publicity for Miramax. In 1989, their successful launch release of ]'s '']'' propelled Miramax to become the most successful independent studio in America.<ref>{{cite book|title=Coupez: Ces films que George Clooney, Nicole Kidman, Jean Reno, Kim Basinger aimeraient oublier|page=45|language=French|first=Christophe|last= Greuet|publisher=Carnot|year=2004|isbn=2-84855-073-2}}</ref>

Also in 1989, Miramax released two arthouse films, '']'', and director ]'s film '']'', both of which the ] ] gave an ], effectively stopping nationwide release for these films. Weinstein sued the MPAA over the rating system. His lawsuit was later thrown out, but the MPAA introduced the ] rating two months later.<ref>{{cite book|first=Alisa|last=Perren|title=Indie, Inc.: Miramax and the Transformation of Hollywood in the 1990s|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=KIxjwKqGXQ4C&pg=PA21|date=May 15, 2012|publisher=University of Texas Press|isbn=978-0-292-74287-1|pages=44–45}}</ref>

=== 1990s–2000s: Further success, Disney ownership deal ===
Miramax continued to grow its library of films and directors until, in 1993, after the success of '']'', ] offered the Weinsteins $80 million for ownership of Miramax.<ref name="lsun">{{cite news |title=Miramax offices close, Disney says brand continues |agency=] |newspaper='']''|date=January 29, 2010 |url=http://www.lowellsun.com/movies/ci_14294787 }}</ref> The brothers agreed to the deal that would cement their Hollywood clout and ensure that they would remain at the head of their company, and the next year Miramax released their first blockbuster, ]'s '']'', and distributed the popular independent film '']''.

Miramax won its first ] in 1997 with the victory of '']''. (''Pulp Fiction'' was nominated in 1995 but lost to '']'').<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.thewrap.com/httpswww-thewrap-comharvey-weinstein-oscar-campaigns-shakespeare-love-chicago/|title=A Short History of Harvey Weinstein’s Oscar Campaigns (Photos)|publisher=The Wrap|date=October 8, 2017|last=Geier|first=Thom}}</ref> This started a string of critical successes that included '']'' (1997) and '']'' (1998), both of which won several awards, including numerous Academy Awards.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.theguardian.com/culture/1999/mar/22/awardsandprizes1|title=Shakespeare in Love wins 7 Oscars|work=The Guardian|date=March 22, 1999|accessdate=October 13, 2017}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.oscars.org/oscars/ceremonies/1998|title=The 70th Academy Awards|publisher=Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences|accessdate=October 13, 2017}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=http://variety.com/2013/film/awards/the-upset-that-wasnt-an-upset-shakespeare-in-love-817869/|title=The Upset That Wasn't an Upset: 'Shakespeare in Love'|work=Variety|date=February 21, 2013|last=Weisman|first=Jon|accessdate=October 13, 2017}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.eonline.com/news/802830/looking-back-at-the-totally-crazy-story-behind-the-making-of-good-will-hunting|title=Looking Back at the Totally Crazy Story Behind the Making of Good Will Hunting|publisher=E!|date=October 20, 2016|last=Rankin|first=Seija}}</ref>

=== 2005–2017: The Weinstein Company ===
]
The Weinstein brothers left Miramax on September 30, 2005, to form their own production company, ], with several other media executives, directors ] and ], and ], who had successfully run the production department at Miramax for ten years.<ref>Paskin, Willa (June 16, 2005). ". '']''.</ref> In February 2011, filmmaker ] took legal action against the Weinstein brothers, claiming he was owed $2.7 million in profits for his documentary '']'' (2004), which he said had been denied to him by "Hollywood accounting tricks".<ref>. ]. February 9, 2011</ref> In February 2012, Moore dropped the lawsuit for an undisclosed settlement.<ref>Belloni, Matthew (February 15, 2012). . '']''.</ref>

===Managerial style and controversies===

While lauded for opening up the ] market and making it financially viable, Weinstein has been criticized by some for the techniques he has allegedly applied in his business dealings. ]'s book ''Down and Dirty Pictures: Miramax, Sundance and the Rise of Independent Film''<ref name="biskind" /> details criticism of Miramax's release history and editing of Asian films, such as '']'', '']'', and '']''. There is a rumor that when Harvey Weinstein was charged with handling the U.S. release of ''Princess Mononoke'', director ] sent him a samurai sword in the mail. Attached to the blade was a stark message: "No cuts." Miyazaki commented on the incident: "Actually, my producer did that. Although I did go to New York to meet this man, this Harvey Weinstein, and I was bombarded with this aggressive attack, all these demands for cuts. I defeated him."<ref>{{cite news |title=A god among animators |url=http://film.guardian.co.uk/interview/interviewpages/0,6737,1569689,00.html|first=Xan |last=Brooks |work=The Guardian |date=September 14, 2005 |accessdate=May 23, 2007}}</ref> Weinstein has always insisted that such editing was done in the interest of creating the most financially viable film. "I'm not cutting for fun," Harvey Weinstein said in an interview. "I'm cutting for the shit to work. All my life I served one master: the film. I love movies."<ref name=Mason/><ref>Dean, Katie. , '']'', December 15, 2003, Page 2</ref>

Another example cited by Biskind was ]'s '']'' (2002), whose release Weinstein delayed following the ] owing to audience reaction in test screenings to the film's critical tone towards America's past foreign policy. After being told the film would go straight to video, Noyce planned to screen the film in ] in order to mobilize critics to pressure Miramax to release it theatrically. Weinstein decided to screen the film at the Festival only after he was lobbied by star ], who threatened to boycott publicity for another film he had made for Miramax. ''The Quiet American'' received mostly positive reviews at the festival, and Miramax eventually released the film theatrically, but it was alleged that Miramax did not make a major effort to promote the film for Academy Award consideration, though Caine was nominated for an ].<ref name=biskind/>

Weinstein has also cultivated a reputation for ruthlessness and fits of anger.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.indiewire.com/2017/10/harvey-weinstein-producer-miramax-1201888349/|title=Harvey Weinstein Was A Bad Producer: The Myth Of The Oscar Winner - IndieWire|first=Chris|last=O'Falt|website=www.indiewire.com}}</ref> According to Biskind, Weinstein once put a '']'' reporter in a headlock while throwing him out of a party. On another occasion, Weinstein excoriated director ] and her husband during a disagreement over a test screening of her movie '']''.<ref name=Mason/>

In a 2004 newspaper article, in '']'' magazine, Weinstein appeared somewhat repentant for his often aggressive discussions with directors and producers.<ref name=Mnookin>Mnookin, Seth. , '']'' magazine, October 4, 2004</ref> However, a '']'' story on October 13, 2008, criticized Weinstein, who was accused of "hassling ] on his deathbed" about the release of the film '']''. After Weinstein offered $1 million to charity if the accusation could be proven, journalist ] published an email sent by ] on August 22 asserting that Weinstein "harassed" ]'s widow and a bedridden Pollack until Pollack's family asked him to stop.<ref>'']'', October 13, 2008, Page 10</ref><ref>]. , ], September 29, 2008</ref>

In September 2009, Weinstein publicly voiced opposition to efforts to extradite ] from Switzerland to the U.S. regarding a 1977 charge that he had drugged and raped a 13-year-old, to which Polanski had pleaded guilty before fleeing the country.<ref>Kay, Jeremy. , Screen Daily, September 28, 2009</ref> Weinstein, whose company had distributed ], questioned whether Polanski committed any crime,<ref>{{cite news| last=Weinstein | first=Harvey | authorlink=|url=http://www.independent.co.uk/opinion/commentators/harvey-weinstein-polanski-has-served-his-time-and-must-be-freed-1794699.html | title=Polanski has served his time and must be freed| work=The Independent |archivedate= 2017-10-07 |archiveurl= http://web.archive.org/web/20171007025343/www.independent.co.uk/voices/commentators/harvey-weinstein-polanski-has-served-his-time-and-must-be-freed-1794699.html | date=October 4, 2009}}</ref> prompting ] District Attorney ] to insist that Polanski's guilty plea indicated that his action was a crime, and that several other serious charges were pending.<ref>{{cite news| last=Leonard| first=Jack | authorlink= | url=http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/lanow/2009/10/top-la-prosecutor-refutes-statements-of-weinstein-other-polanski-supporters.html|title=Top L.A. prosecutor disputes statements from Harvey Weinstein, other Roman Polanski supporters|newspaper=]|date=October 6, 2009}}</ref>

In Oscar acceptance speeches since 1966, Weinstein was thanked a total of 34 times by actors and actresses – just as many times as God, and second only to ] with 43 mentions.<ref>{{cite news|last1=Rodriguez|first1=Ashley|title=How powerful was Harvey Weinstein?
