Recently, the Marvel superhero series of movies have been popular, and DC's WW84 is also taking over the superhero theme. The "Audio-Visual Versailles" with beautifully produced and gorgeous special effects, after watching them, let the moviegoers be amazed, and only left A high-quality boredom.
We can't help but ask what kind of movie is a good movie?
It is undeniable that these films are gorgeous audio-visual feasts, without compromising sensory stimulation, and it is very refreshing to be immersed in IMAX and Dolby sound.
But behind these shocking explosions, exquisite costumes, and dazzling actions, there are box office failures, word-of-mouth collapse, content plagiarism, and the decline of Hollywood films.
At its root, it is the proposition thrown by director Martin Scorsese: should the concept of "movie" be divided into theme park audio-visual entertainment products represented by Marvel, and film art that tries to convey human emotions and spiritual experience (cinema).
The boredom brought about by these films is because the audio-visual stimuli act only on sensory pleasures and cannot arouse inner waves.
American film critic Ann Hornady said in "How to Talk About Movies":
"If you're wondering why movies like 'Tornado,' 'Doomsday,' 'Crash,' 'The Day After Tomorrow,' 'Doomsday' all look so similar, it's because they're mostly just disasters and spectacles There are no memorable stories or deep and layered characters. So these movies will only provide a few necessary "whammy" (whammy) without too much detail and connotation. These movies only have Plot, no story; just characters, no people; just excitement, no emotion."
These spectacle vehicles generally do not pay attention to the story, but rely on constantly adding "stakes" and "whammy" to arouse the audience's nerves. The literary and drama parts are pale, chaotic, powerless or unconvincing.
It turns out that Hollywood blockbusters are still trying to pursue a balance between film art and business.
But now, audio-visual entertainment movies have completely abandoned the hardship of creation, and the plot is directly applied to the story template, and the rest is left to the stars and special effects. More and more bad movies.
