[ SPOILER ALERT ] What do you think is the future of Hollywood movies?
[ SPOILER ALERT ! ALERT ! ]
I just saw the movie DRIVE with Ryan Gosling and despite the fact that I have seen this kind of plotting before, it did have something new to offer as far as Direction and Acting are concerned. I was almost totally impressed until the killing scenes towards the end. Maybe the filmmakers thought it would come across as not so typical but, really, its severity was just gratuitous, imo.

What I’ve been noticing in the past years is a lot of, of course, remakes and re imaginings. As you say though, there seems to be a lot of attempts at telling a story either differently, or adding elements that you don’t usually see in movies, in order to offer something different. (usually using the latest tech available)
Problem is, those are always based from something that already exists. Hollywood was always strong on image and style, and no matter how they change in the future, I don’t see the former going away. :/
I don’t have much of an answer lol. I just see it as keeping on to ’‘perfect’’ or exploit stuff that usually doesn’t come from them.
This isn’t an answer to bash Hollywood by the way. I don’t care how mainstream it is, I like Hollywood. But I say shit as I see it.
Most of the stuff that comes out of Hollywood is terrible, and I don’t expect it to change in the future. As a matter of fact, it’s just going to get worse. Violence, stupidity, lack of meaning, cheap humor, etc.
I’ve pretty much lost hope. Foreign films are where it’s at. Korea and Sweden are doing incredible things these days.
@Seek_Kolinahr I agree completely! POINTS!
But the future of American cinema? Glorified advertisments speckled into bad movies. Like in the minority report… only less dubious.
They’ve been cramming advertisements into movies for years. There’s a reason that scene in Wayne’s World is so funny. “Mmm! Pepsi!”
My biggest beef with Hollywood is ruining a perfectly good movie with a shitty ending. That last Gerard Butler movie I watched – Law Abiding Citizen. The guy can install a firing gun into a cell phone, but makes the rookie mistake of putting a briefcase bomb in plain sight? And how the hell did the cops (who didn’t get to the building until he had already left) make it back to his cell before he did? Do they think we weren’t paying attention?
@Seek_Kolinahr Yes, I agree. I love watching movies from Sweden, and Korea too.
@Seek_Kolinahr LOL, that’s like shooting until you run out of bullets, and then throwing the gun at Super man.
@GabrielsLamb Thanks for the link. At first, I thought it was Chinese, with all the Chinese written words, but then I realized “Oh yes, Korean uses Chinese characters too.” lol Looks very interesting. I am going to see if I can get my hands on it.
