RE: Is Originality Dead In Mainstream Movies?
You've totally pegged it @ezzy! Hollywood only follows formulas that are proven to make money. They test scripts and revise them until they appeal to the widest variety of people. The end product is so generic and diluted it has no soul. We want to follow a different path for HardFork!
Thank you, @ericvancewalton!
Yes, diluted and formulaic seem the order of the day, for Hollywood. It's gonna take something completely "out-of-the-box" so to speak, to change that. And yes, Hardfork! I guess the clue is in the title, lol! Taking things in a different direction with a tight, original script. If there is someone who can pull it off, I'm rooting for you and the HF team.
Thank you again for the comment and hope you are doing great! :)
Great post! You made me go through my lists of cinema visits (I have an unlimited cinema pass) and I guess you have a point, for me only Interstellar can compete with the list of movies you named in the beginning. I loved that film. I still enjoy cinema a lot but it rarely leaves me in awe like it used too when I was a kid. It's just for entertainment nowadays. Terminator 2 is one of my favorite movies of all time btw. I have seen it an insane amounts of time on VHS when I was little.
Thank, my bro! Interstellar was amazing, yes. Christopher Nolan is always trying to push the boundaries of film-making. For myself, I honestly think now is the "rise for the television shows". It seems people generally are talking less about the latest movie they watched and more about the last episode of "Game of Thrones" or the like.
"Less popcorn culture, more substance" is what I say, lol. :)
Thank you for the comment, my bro! :)
I replied to the wrong post. Sorry, Eric.
Absolutely. Interstellar is a stellar exception. :)
