Where Are All The Good Movies?
I'm not sure if this is an all-out phenomenon, but I'm sure there are some people that can to me when I say the movie industry has reached a standstill concerning interesting new products. Over the years we've seen actors get shrunk, cars come to life, we've explored new corners of the galaxy and the world of women as seen through a man's eyes, so can anything still surprise us? The answer is yes, but producers are unwilling to search for our new desire, to experiment, to take a gamble and see what happens. Most things we see in movies today are inspired from other, much older movies and filtered through the director's eyes. Is this actually a Hollywood conspiracy? Do they wait long enough to suspect people have forgotten the original and then do a cheap remake? Honestly, I don't think this is the care, but it can't be far from it. They must believe the original was a flop because of the poor special effects, but the truth is, the story was its downfall.
In contrast to the previous category, another type of movies does boast an original story, but using concepts from older ones. In this category we have zombie movies, most monster movies and hey, let's admit it, even some action movies (Avp for example). Although this isn't always a bad idea (Avp again, which I found fairly satisfying), the basic concept behind the character they "borrowed" from other movies changes slightly with each new adaptation. Most directors in this category prefer to inspire themselves from the most recent production involving the myth they want to use, so their idea will stray even more from the original than the previous one has. It is sometimes nice to see a myth evolve, but enough is enough!
I will admit that making a movie isn't all too easy and coming up with an original idea is becoming increasingly difficult, but the fact remains: if it's already been done, you will never get full credit for your work. Sadly, this is what happens with most "new" productions, because they found their stories on older ones. This is why more and more people exit the movie theaters disappointed, having hoped for something better. Or maybe it isn't the movies that are changing….maybe we're just getting harder and harder to please…

Born 1988, I have devoted my time to studying languages even as a toddler. The result of my work is a literature career that never started and a desire to perfect oneself that never ends. Although poetry is my first choice, having a collection of unpublished poems to account for that, I now write free online articles.
