The 150 Year Decline of The Movie Business

----

Movies suck now. Anyone who disagrees is wrong.
But the cinema being in the toilet is not because you’ve gotten older, or because
your tastes have changed. And it’s definitely not because you’re out of touch!
It’s because the world’s greatest artform has been declining ever since Louis Le
Prince shot the first film over 150 years ago, way back in 1888.
The only thing we need to ask now is whether the decline was steady sudden!
Some say we haven’t even seen how bad things can get.

Pandora may look great, but it doesn’t feel as alien – or real – as Luke Skywalker
staring up at two suns setting over the dunes of Tatooine.
And that’s just the tip of the iceberg.
It’s time to Learn How History works as we solve how movies got to be so bad.

I have to say we seem overdue for a renaissance. Hollywood, Streaming Services, and even Satellite TV all feel like teetering monoliths. Unstable and Unwilling to change. We need risk takers again, people who want to create artistic messages and sets not be a cheap sounding board for social media. Heck I’d even take a good ol’ rollicking adventure if it didn’t feel canned.
Worst of all some of these bad habits have been leaking into my favorite media. Books. If you want to be Published it feels like you either have to be a celebrity (working with a ghost writer no doubt) or write another sequel/reboot to a established series or include all the right token characters to basic RPG plot.

I love that TLJ is your stand-in for what’s wrong with Hollywood.

There's only so many ways you can tell the same seven plot lines.

Not a single reference to the lack of good story and script writing? I'm disappointed in you

Movies by committee are a big part of the issue…with too much input the movie aims to please everyone, and then means it doesn’t really “wow” anyone.
I like directors/writers that try to hit a home run. Some scenes are amazing, and some are terrible. But at least they aren’t sanded down to dullness.

There is a parallel universe of non-Hollywood movies that has not been in decline.
Bergman, Bunuel, Tarkovsky, Von Trier, Zvyagintsev all have been innovating and making timeless films.
Watch Dogville if you think that acting is a lost trade.
