Why Modern Movies Suck

Modern movies suck because Hollywood is morally bankrupt. Maybe they should stop with all their wokeism.

 

[Brian4Liberty]

They do this in almost all of the TV series. The heroes change into villains, the villains change into heroes.

 

[Matt Collins]

Movies suck for several reason, but here are 2 lots of people don't think about:

1- The biggest consumer of films now is China, not America. So the story lines have to be adjusted to fit the Chinese government's allowable narratives.

2- The Chinese government's entities own a huge amount of Hollywood and film production.

There are very little heroes when you're surrounded by people who have no morals, and are pedophiles, and are into buggery, and agents who pimp out their clients as prostitutes.

According to Mel Gibson, who has spent 30 years in and out of the Hollywood system, the industry elites “thrive on pain, trauma, stress, abuse, and suffering.” “Hollywood is drenched in the blood of innocent children. For a long time all the references to pedophilia and cannibalism were symbolic or allusive.

They are both right you know.

Critical Drinker: Why modern movies suck (CGI Overload)

 

[Anti Federalist]

I heartily agree.

Almost 55 years ago, this film set the bar for cinematography that has still not been equaled.

Not a single computer was used, this is all true, hand made, art.

Now, keep in mind I haven't seen this film yet, but everything I have seen or read seems to indicate the following:

Take note Hollyweird Marxists, I know you people are not keen on making money anymore, let alone pleasing audiences, but this is why "Top Gun" is smashing box office records and has scored a 99 percent rating at RT.

A - No CGI bullshit. Those are real pilots flying real planes in real maneuvers, not a bunch of overheated computers running nth x-over graphics programmed by a bunch of neckbeards and Chinese slave labor trying imitate what an aerial combat scene should look like.

B - No woke horseshit. Maverick has not "come out" as or "transitioned" into a black, female, lesbian, trans-queeer two spirit weirdosexual.

C - Yeah, it's "Pro American". Enough already, with the hand wringing and guilt and groveling. I am as aware of the MiC and the checkered past of American warfare as anybody alive. But enough is enough already...you made your point. Some rah rah and flag waving combined with a real man and woman love story and shit hot flying is just what a lot of us needed.

Congrats to Cruise and the film team for creating a winner, it is the first time in years that I will honestly say, I look forward to seeing this movie.

You want to know why Tom Cruise is one of the few movie stars still standing? It’s not his looks or his agelessness or even his talent. There are all kinds of good-looking, talented, ageless actors and actresses out there… No, Tom Cruise is a star because he understands stardom in the same way John Wayne and Errol Flynn and Gene Kelly and Bette Davis and Warren Beatty and Jack Nicholson understood stardom… It’s not about you! It’s about the audience! Dazzle them. Make them laugh. Make them cry. Inspire them. Broaden their horizons. Show them something new. Teach them. But never, ever talk down to them or act as their superior.

Respect the audience as a partner, and you will never break up.

Tom Cruise puts on a helluva show.

 

[Invisible Man]

The original Star Wars trilogy, not the remastered versions of the movies that got released in the late 90's that are now the only version of those movies you can see anywhere any more, were like modern marvels. They took movie special effects with models, puppets, costumes worn by human actors, etc., to a level that was like magic. I was in awe of those movies. If a young person from this generation who is used to CGI were to watch those movies today in their original format, they would still be in awe of how it was possible to make things look like that in movies using only circa 1980 tech. The watershed moment when Star Wars was ruined wasn't the prequels, but the rerelease of the originals.

One of the big BIG problems in a lot of modern movies is the lack of dramatic pause. Everything is tuned for ADHD gamer-heads who just finished playing some kind of frenetic point-and-shoot splatter title at Sonic the Hedgehog speed with their Oculus headset firmly strapped in place to artificially induce blindness... before walking into the movie theater. The theatrical pace of dialogue in a movie such as, say, Secondhand Lions leaves so much "dead airtime" that the Ritalin-speed-freak twidget-spinner-heads are liable to think that the movie ended between the first and second sentence of dialogue. So they knock the wind out of the dialogue in post-production, clipping every bit of dramatic pause or natural breath between lines so that you either have a non-stop whirlwind of explosions on the screen, or a non-stop machine-gun rattle of dialogue where jokes are blatantly telegraphed several sentences before their punchlines (to make sure the idiotic audience "gets it") and by the time the punchline would have landed in a normal joke scene, we're already two or three camera cuts into an action sequence. Trained monkeys could edit better than this new-fangled garbage. I rarely watch movies at all anymore just a handful in a year. How ironic that Hollywood can produce movies faster than ever, but they are producing less watchable content than ever. Pretty much the story of our civilization, such as it is...

That sounds about right. I was just talking about this before seeing this thread but did not connect it to CGI competition like he was saying in the video. That makes sense though, too much action and not enough dialogue or dialogue without depth or depth of characters, a weak story or story too far beyond belief. If there is dramatic pause it is someone being quirky or over the top. They all do this and it is all so weak, tiresome and predictable.

I think what we have is a bunch of well connected elite children that have not worked a day in their life being green lit on projects, given roles as writers and actors. It is like these people have not grown past 13, have no connection to reality or connection in reality to the average people in this country. They are so consumed with their comic book crap they just apply it to everything.

Modern movies also suck because Hollywood is not only morally bankrupt but theres always some underlining message that relates to wokeism.

As Chinese Financer Bows Out, ‘Top Gun: Maverick’ Restores Taiwanese, Japanese Flag Patches

https://www.breitbart.com/entertain...ick-restores-taiwanese-japanese-flag-patches/

DAVID NG 31 May 2022

Shortly after the removal of Chinese sponsorship from the film, Top Gun: Maverick producers have restored the original Taiwanese and Japanese flag patches to Tom Cruise’s iconic jacket.

When Paramount released the first trailer for Top Gun: Maverick nearly two years ago, astute observers noticed that Tom Cruise’s bomber jacket was missing the Taiwanese and Japanese flag patches that were so prominently displayed in the first movie. It was assumed the studio had effectively erased China’s adversaries in order to secure a lucrative release on Chinese screens.

Now Paramount has restored the Taiwanese and Japanese flag patches for the sequel’s U.S. release, Breitbart News has confirmed. The patches are visible early in the movie when Maverick (Cruise) takes the famous jacket out of his locker and puts it on.

Paramount did not respond to a request for comment from Breitbart News. Top Gun: Maverick was originally supposed to be co-financed by China’s Tencent, a deal that would have all but guaranteed a lucrative theatrical release in China, where Tom Cruise is immensely popular.

But according to a report from The Wall Street Journal, Tencent withdrew from the movie over concerns about the storyline’s pro-America tone. The withdrawal has imperiled the movie’s chances of obtaining a China release, but it also frees the studio to add back the Taiwanese and Japanese flag patches.

Paramount has reportedly also restored the flags for the movie’s release in Taiwan, according to some local reports.

The studio’s original decision to remove the references to Taiwan and Japan met with harsh blowback. Members of Congress including Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) blasted Paramount for engaging in an apparent act of creative censorship to appease Beijing.

“What are we saying to the world? That Maverick is afraid of the Chinese communists?” Cruz said in an appearance on Fox News in 2020.

That same year, Cruz put forth a zero-tolerance policy for Hollywood studios that willingly censor their movies to please Chinese Communist officials, proposing new legislation that would block all federal assistance to the studios behind those film productions.

Warner Bros. recently censored the latest Fantastic Beasts movie for China by deleting a gay reference alluding to the romantic past between Albus Dumbledore (Jude Law) and Gellert Grindelwald (Mads Mikkelsen). The cuts did not affect the U.S. release of the movie.
