If I understand film roles correctly, producer would be like a project manager, and director would be like product manager. Product doesn't deal with budgets, profits, markets.
Product is closer to user experience. Just like the director knows a script inside out, product knows customer problems inside out. Just like a director knows what happens in script writing and editing, product knows what happens in the requirements and testing/QA stages, but isn't entire responsible for it.

This is different at every organization. I have seen companies that make PMs 100% about profit and market, who then delegate everything else down to others. I've seen ones who work exactly as you describe. And I've seen one where Product manager == Jira monkey.
Based on my experience, while there is a lot of variety, most PMs do worry about the markets and profits as part of their job, even though other teams do the actual sales and marketing. Those concerns are part of understanding the product - who is the market, what are they willing to pay, what monetary value aligns with the solution value. Those answers help drive decisions on roadmap prioritization.
Centre look and sounds like “cent-ruh” rather than the rolled out sounding of err sound to make “center”. Then again, how you say it is a bit different, too.
In the US, there are more trees now than 100 years ago. I believe the law is for companies that cut trees for products, to plant two for every one they cut down.
Now there are problems in the rest of the world with deforestation, and hopefully we can fix that.
The negative impact of pulping isn't limited to just deforestation and loss of uncommercialized land. I think wikipedia does a fine job to explain the impact:
If you've ever been to Maine, where the paper industry is important, you'll know there are further effects from "sustainable" planting. The trees are all young; there is no possibility of a high forest developing. The stench of chlorine is everywhere.
