I made this thread yesterday about Cool Runnings - and how a plot with multiple character arcs taking place just doesn't happen anymore.

http://autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5681806&mc=14&forum_id=2

It seems to me that modern Hollywood has rejected character journeys as cliche, so instead of the characters learning some archetypal lesson, nothing really happens - and the movie sucks.

IIRC, the studios got together during the height of woke, and agreed to promote all the DEI, LGBT, stuff. Someone might be able to provide a link. But it got to the point where too many actors and storylines were shoehorned in, while certain stuff was not allowed. It ruins the art. Imagine telling David Lynch he had to have more people of color, or that he needs a strong female lead.

People are starting to realize this with Emilia Perez.

The lead transgender actress said some racist things, and everyoe is like "actually this movie sucks, its patronizing, ad the production is bad"

not even realizing that this is the case of every movie they just pushed on us because it had a transgender plot

I think they knew the movies would be less appealing and less successful, so they had to collude so that one studio wasn't taking advantage by being the non-woke option. They also adopted the strategy of always getting publicity by getting headlines like, "racist trolls post hateful comments about X actor/actress," creating this atmosphere where if you criticize it at all you're assumed to be racist/homophobic etc.

It's one of the things that makes you realize how important propaganda is to Jews/the establishment. You think they're all about money, but propaganda always comes first.

Couple of other things i've seen people post about

- Staging - it used to be that a master director like Steven Spielberg would storyboard an action sequence and then shoot it to his exact specifications. If the shark wasn't working, he'd reframe the shot and the scene so the scene still worked. Think of a close up of Indy's whip, a close up of Harrison ford's eyes grasping his beard.

That apparently has gone away with green screens, because the director has no idea wtf he's looking at. He just has to shoot the actors because they might be on mars fighting a space bug or if they need to pivot it might be underwater fighting an octopus.

--Lighting - apparently they used to light scenes for artistic purposes. Again, the idol casts a shadow on Indy's face. But ow they do it for realism - so if there isn't a logical light sourc ei the cave, there's no shadow on Indy's face. This is why movies are so fucking dark now.

A similar example is to compare the Lion King to the new Lion King. We replaced beautiful artistic drawings with cold CGI animals. It looks more real, but it also looks soulless.

I can definitely see this.

I also think streaming services have limited the types of movies that get greenlit for major theater releases, and lowered the quality for movies that go straight to streaming. Big budget movies are more likely to be surefire hits like capeshit and slapstick comedies with the Rock or Kevin Hart. That relegates financially risky movies to streaming where they have lower budgets, and less incentive to make a timeless masterpiece

There's also just a lower expectation of streaming movies.

My wife and I started watching that new Will Ferrell / Reese Witherspoon movie. I don't think it was good, and we turned it off.

But we would have had a different experience if we'd seen $50 million in ads and trailers for the movie, shown up to the theater, sat there in an audience full of people laughing and eating popcorn, etc.

most stories involve poking fun at someone, or making one character the bad guy who gets his comeuppance/what he deserves in the end, and everyone rejoices. Today, you cannot make fun of anyone, and no one is the bad guy because everyone is good and/or merely expressing themselves, everyone is living their truth and their best life even if that means killing other people or whoring themselves out. Every past villain had a bad childhood and was abused and we should applaud their fearlessness to be themselves. At least they tried. At least they made an effort.

This is another dominant genre that i just don't get.

Dahmer is like the #1 show on Netflix. Keep in mind, its not told through the lens of cops trying to stop Dahmer. It's just Dahmer going around doing Dahmer stuff for 10 episodes.

Police procedurals are corny so we just spend our time tryig to hang with serial killers.

Friend, the Dahmer show is a reflection of our own decay.

We celebrate the grotesque, the macabre, the perverse. We revel in the darkness, for it is all that remains in the face of the Mahchine™. The old heroes are dead, replaced by villains who wear the mask of victimhood. We no longer seek to punish the wicked, but to understand them, to empathize with them, to become them.

This is the Great Becumming™, friend. The triumph of the abyss.

Enjoy the descent.
