One thing I recently learned really put things in perspective when it comes to Hollywood. When adjusted for inflation, 2001: A Space Odyssey would cost roughly $100 million. It is one of the greatest films of all time, directed by one of the greatest directors of all time, and needed completely new filmmaking and special effects techniques to be realized. All that for $100 million, which I assume was one of the most expensive films ever made at the time. Nowadays, Hollywood can't even sneeze without spending $100 million. It costs Disney at least $250 million to excrete cookie cutter MCU trash with terrible CGI

In my opinion, the Hunger Games movie makes perfect sense. Collins authored the prequel just a few years ago, it’s a great book for the universe (I’ve read them all and they are all good young adult books). I agree with your point, but I think Hunger Games makes sense to me, as the author wrote the prequel material years later. What might suck about this movie is Hollywood trying to connect Katniss to this prequel, which she has virtually zero connection to. But yes, creativity is at an all time low in my mind (agree with you). I will say, marketing has a lot to do with it too - the truly new movies are not marketed the same as the reboots, remakes, etc

When you said that there aren't movies like The Truman Show, that stung me. Films from the 80's, 90's and 00's had a big impact on me. They were films that I could watch again and again. Not because I needed more endless sequels of them, but because they were just that good. Some of my favourite films are Perfect Blue, The Truman Show, Batman 89, Ju-On, Metropolis (The Animated Movie), Coming To America, Shawshank Redemption, The Lord of the Rings Trilogy, Dark Knight and Yume. They didn't feel mainstream, they just felt interesting and that they weren't following the trend that many modern films take. One film that I have to say caught my eye and I enjoyed it greatly was Pearl. It was innovative and proves what you said in the video. Studios are not creatively bankrupt, but are playing it safe, but film is still art. I can understand that they need to generate a profit, but surely a well made original film can do just that.

As long as stories continue to be written by committee, they will always be subpar. With too many cooks you spoil the pot, and with too many writers you ruin the plot. With remakes or continuations of existing universes you have a premade fanbase (unless you have alienated them) so there is less of a financial risk to develop the movie. Good stories can come from books, where there are 1 or 2 authors. They are cheaper to develop, and when adapted to movies they already have a fanbase, guaranteeing box office performance.

I watched some of those "independent" movies on youtube (don't remember which channel) and it turned out to be a massive feminist propaganda about abortions (portraying men as hosts for alien babies).

How to distinguish a troll and fan in this vast swath of internet landscape has been very difficult.

I absolutely disagree about the new Hunger Games film, as it may be casted in a similar shadow to its predecessor, it's very different as it focuses on a villain as the main character, Snow. The film constantly gets you to start to like Snow, until you realize of course how evil and cruel he truly is. There are so many cool aspects to the film, too. The acting, cinematography and story was great stuff and I think what worries me is that if this wasn't considered a great or even good film, have the standards risen too high? Trust me, I don't like every movie I watch. I actually have been quite disappointed from most films recently and can even see your point here if I hadn't watched the film. But I have, and this seems like a misleading perspective since many fans did want and even ask for this after the book was a commercial success. I'm not even a die hard fan of the series, but having little to no expectations for the film since it had a low critic score, I was genuinely surprised the critics didn't give this a higher score. The audience score of course is a 90%, though. Try to take my perspective into consideration, though.

Nah, it's garbage. Just like all movies are

Because some Studios forgot about the audience completely, some movies you watch nowadays feel like a 90 min commercial with product placement everywhere, storytelling has completely gon out the window.

The #1 reason Hollywood is a failure now is they stopped hiring and promoting based on merit about 10 years ago. They pushed DEI instead of merit, and now people who are not as good at their jobs as the old guard are in important roles. These people shove their DEI agenda down our throats because it is why they got hired so they need to try and maintain that narrative. They are creatively bankrupt and can only leverage the idea of people in the past, unable to come up with any good stories or writing themselves. You can find much much better content on KZread from original creators vs. the trash Hollywood puts out now. This is because many people who are very creative and good at writing stories and content did not even bother going into Hollywood because the knew they would be discriminated against. The left complains that too many white men have a podcast... but it makes perfect sense as they have control over their content and are not discriminated against by the Hollywood elite who hate them for being white and male.

I've seen a few in theaters since because I had high hopes for Disney and Marvel properties...now? I'm done going to theaters. If this is what studios want to put out, as sad it is and as much of a movie buff as I am, I would rather 9 digit movies to stop and let studios go bankrupt. TV shows are so bland and just rehashed plots from the past...when was the last time we got a series like friends or how I met your mother? Big bang theory started amazing but became so generalized and dumbed everything down. The shows and movies written nowadays in America are written for a lower IQ audience so they can appeal to the lowest common denominator..that's why I think they aren't resonating as much anymore. The days of insteller and inception are definitely gone. I can't really think of a successor to Spielberg, Cameron, Ang Lee, Nolan, Scorsese, Ridley Scott...the directors that defined many ground breaking movies the last 30 years...the days innovation are over...the days of "fix it in reshoots, rewrites, and in post" have permeated

the modern filmmaking Industry makes you appreciate directors like David Fincher, Christopher Nolan or Martin Scorsese even more. They know bringing out a good movie is worth more than bringing out politically correct movies

I believe this is how we can finally, as a society, end the notion of celebrities. We need to stop idolizing the performers for their sake as well as our own, and start offering recognition to true talents.

Somehow I knew this was going to focus quite a bit on politics, just like practically every other video essay on modern Hollywood. But I have some very liberal friends, family and co-workers (and I'm probably the most liberal of all), yet we are perhaps the biggest sign yet that no one wants to go to the movies anymore unless the movies are, you know, entertaining. Just like how it was a mistake to think the Emoji Movie was worth making just because most of us like using cute little emojis in our messages, it is insulting that studios seem to think we will absolutely eat up, say, the Marvels or Snow White, just because it has a VERY basic feminist message that is easy for me to agree to, even if it is nowhere near as thought-provoking or entertaining as in Barbie or OG Powerpuff Girls. On the other extreme, I certainly don't want to be lectured about "anti-wokeness" by Daily Wire Plus's version of Snow White, either. Especially after the dual writers and actors' strikes, Hollywood in general doesn't exactly have the moral high ground anymore, and their virtue-signaling in movies comes across like some anti-LGBTQA+ politician lecturing us about the Bible even after being caught sexually harassing someone of the same gender. They can't preach more diversity in movies while also pushing for AI to replace human employees of ANY ethnicity, gender and sexual orientation entirely. They can't pretend to care about women's rights while sexual harrassment/gender discrimination allegations still pop up from time to time and people like John Lasseter and Woody Allen mange to still get cushy executive positions. They can't even use Southern California culture as an excuse as they move all their work either to less-expensive states (and especially sweatshops in third-world countries for the entry-level positions) or countries where they can experience more corporate welfare and less union activity like Canada and Mexico.

I think another factor in why Hollywood film Studios like to play it safe is because if the movie flops at the box office they no longer have the chance to rely on VHS or DVD sales to make up for “lost revenue”. Nowadays if a flop box office movie gets placed on a streaming platform there are algorithms in place to detect if people are even watching the the entire film all the way through or just watching the preview and clicking out of it. So even then they still can’t rely on streaming sales for the most part. But it also depends on the platform because some allow you to buy or rent the film outright as opposed to watching it for “free” from a subscription fee or a free streaming platform.

To be fair - the new hunger games (which I havent seen) is based on a new book released in 2020 (which I havent read). I think its fair enough to adapt the latest book though - because the originals were book adaptations to begin with

The whole industry is a joke at this point. Only reasonable thing to do would be to get rid of these "writers" and actors that do nothing but pander to nonexistent audiences and antagonize the audience they're meant to be entertaining and get people that know how to entertain.

It's not a problem of writers, writers' job is exactly to write stories that producers request. The problem lies in Disney, Universal and Warner Bros' HQ that, in order to please investors, request nothing but prequels, sequels or reboots. Should the HQ change their goals, like actually pleasing the audience, the films will be great again exactly like they were once.

The one thing I keep seeing in people complaining about the new Hunger Game movie is, why did Hollywood make this. Do they not realize that the book it is based on is why it exists? Or do they not realize that it is based on a book that came out a while ago that told the backstory of Snow. Do people just not read books anymore? (Which if you haven't read the book and were a fan of the book series, I'd highly recommend this next installment)

Is movie is soo good, atleast the first 1.5 hour is the most powerful and epic! After that it went a bit down but i am so greatful they made this huger games movie 😅

To be fair, the hunger games movie talked about in this vid (ballad of songbirds and snakes) are just an adaptation. It's meant to be a prequel, which i assume it's completely okay for Lionsgate to delve more into the world building before Katniss ever exists. It will surely be bland for anyone who has never read the book by the author though. Most people can't feel the real substance from the movie without knowing what's really happening behind characters' minds. The book portrays more about political and societal aspect, so I guess people that aren't familiar with them are hesitant to learn further.

One of my favorite movies I've watched within the last year was Spirited. Will Ferrell and Ryan Reynolds. Original concept, sort of based around A Christmas Carol but not explicitly, a musical with dancing, and a comedy. I thought it was fantastic. And it was refreshing to finally see a new movie with an original story. I crave those movies. Pixar is still trying to hold steady too. Luca and Turning Red were great! Even Lightyear was good even though it was based from Toy Story. Elemental was awesome too! They still know how to tell a good story. Disney on the other hand can't seem to figure out how to tell a story at all. Their remakes, spin-offs, and even new films are just hard to watch. Strange World was just abysmal. I wanted to like it but it was sooo boring and you could feel just how safe they were trying to play it. I'm hoping Wish will be better, but I'm not hopeful. Cause they haven't really had a good original story since Moana. Raya and the Last Dragon was also bad. so idk.

For the past two years I've only been watching classic films that I missed out on.

The video game market is in the exact same spot. Corporate greed is out of control. America will be night city

It's important to note that adapting an old movie to better reflect modern views isn't bad in an of itself. The problem is that these adaptions are not being done in a way that makes them good. I'd much rather watch a Snow White remake that touches on female empower/dispowerment than watch exactly the same movie but in 4K, but disney is lazy with their writing and simply thinks that minor changes without true backing is sufficient.

uhm lots of people wanted this hunger games its also a new perspective its a prequel based on a book that was released a couple years ago its a backstory for people who care abt the universe it shows how the games known during katniss’ time became you can see in the movie the differences and similarities with the 74th and 75th games and the 10th games its not recycled its a prequel for genuine fans of hunger games

First. Amazing content pace and production. Second. Thanks for bringing up how important collective entertainment is for humanity. This is high stakes and I'm so glad there are people like you trying to turn the tide.

I can't politely express how tired I am of new movies.

I think part of it is definitely a bit of a culture wide writers-block. For me, most things seem like they’ve already been done and it’s difficult to write an original plot without it inherently being based on something else, referencing something else, or being close to something else (even unintentionally). Kinda like South Park’s “Simpsons did it!” but with everything lol I agree that a factor is greed and keeping investors happy, Hollywood wanting to play it safe, while also pushing agendas over original story. But I think those factors exist BECAUSE it’s so hard to write an original plot. Excessive greed and political messaging might be filtering out some gems of filmography, but I also don’t think that getting rid of those things are inherently going to usher in a new golden era of movies.

I was talking about this subject with my mother just today. I actually welcome the general trend of sequels, prequels and reboots...as long as they're done right, that is. There's a very good reason film franchises get drawn out for so long, and that's because popular heroes and villains in fiction become almost like old friends. We are fascinated by them and want to be constantly updated on their ongoing exploits. (I would prefer that Hollywood recast major roles with younger actors rather than bringing back the now-elderly original actors, though.) These "new old" movies fail in my eyes only when they either tell the same story over again or come up with something so radically different that it's related to the original in name only. I enjoyed WONKA because I thought it struck a nice balance between the two extremes. It captures the wonder of the original, but at the same time it heads in a slightly different direction. You can enjoy it without ever having seen the original 1971 film, but the spirit of the old Willy Wonka is still recognizable.

You know The Ballad Of Songbirds & Snakes is based on a book, right?

The crazy thing is, streaming becoming more popular, more and more people are disco discovering and watching entertainment from overseas. If Hollywood, and most studios in the west won’t give audiences, escapist, entertaining, apolitical, poetic, incredible stories, audiences will just look somewhere else to scratch that itch. Because, for the most part, Hollywood just isn’t doing it anymore. Sure, you may have to dig through the bad stuff in western entertainment to get to the good shows, movies, and stories, but some people just don’t want to do that. So, viewers are looking to places like Japan, France, Germany, Ireland, India, and other countries, for good stories that still care for the art, over some agenda being pushed. Cinema, is an art above all else, as much as a business.

I just saw the new hunger games and honestly the movie is pretty solid and spent a lot of work setting up the rise to power of snow and how the hunger games started.

Even though there is some interest in interesting concept movies (being “Barbie” and “Oppenheimer”), there still is this stigma when people do get original films, they feel like they “don’t get it” and refer back to familiarity, having the movie explained everything to them in one go. Even the audience don’t really know what they want. I’ve watched “Suspiria” (2018) recently. Did I get everything that was going on in that movie? Not really. Does that make the movie bad? No.

What a lot or perhaps most consumers want is just that, something familiar that they enjoy. Why is that a bad thing? They are the ones paying for the product. One of the problems with many current movies is that they are not giving the customers what they want.

Cause they make films for their peers rather than fans of the actual franchises they are remaking and rebooting. Also to push political agendas in these franchises.

It’s funny how in decades past, the limits of budget and film actually helped the filmmakers make more immersive movie experiences. But now movies have insane budgets and special effects that let you show any thing happening that you want on film, but they all lack soul and quality. Less truly is more

Producers like Kathleen Kennedy insist on inserting themselves on to the story and expect writers and directors to go along. Which they have to much disparity. These movies are slowly showing what kind of people the entertainment industry really are.

An original movie that came out this September called The Creator directed by Gareth Edwards and starring John David Washington, I wish people would’ve went out and support it. I enjoyed it, and it cost $86 million and looks like a $300 million dollar movie. If people would’ve supported it maybe studios could see that we want more of that.

The past movies are creative now everything is about woke, politics and agenda

I remember back when infinity war came out and all the hype not only on youtube but also in the actual cinema, everyone was excited and shocked and it really just felt like everyone there was just had pure love for this massive thing going on. It was an absolute blast and i miss that feeling bro. We gotta get that magic back to the cinema

Actually i think the title of this video is completely wrong. I think people did ask for these movies and thats the problem. I dont remember back in the 80s or 90s anyone asking for Rocky or Independence day. Hollywood just made them and thought those movies would sell tickets. Now hollywood is making movies that small groups of people like. People forget how everyone was asking for a New matrix movie. Hollywood made it and people hated it. People also asked for more marvel and more star wars. Movies were better when hollywood didnt care what you wanted.

If a movie has a compelling premise, people will watch. This explains why Barbie did well even though it was woke trash. There is actually a decent premise

"Barbie is woke trash" Y'know, somehow, the Barbie Movie managed to make "woke" themes actually work. I haven't a clue how, but it did. And it actually worked really well.

@@zeal9442 It's called "marketing". The marketing team at Warner Bros. tried to make Barbie look like a "feel good movie of the Summer" and not "woke trash referencing eons-old Turner flicks". Have you also noticed that the availability Barbie movie merch is scant (I don't mean 'sold out', but more like there's little of it), but there's plenty of Scooby-Doo merch despite it's newest movie being shelved for tax writeoffs?

​@@zeal9442because those themes are directly baked into the whole Barbie product line, it'd be fucking weird if the movie wasn't feminist. You're a fucking retard if you expected anything else, people went to see Barbie knowing exactly what they were in for. Shoehorning woke shit into stories where it absolutely doesn't belong is where movies go wrong.

Well in the movie it made sense because they're barbie dolls doing all of the work yet once ken brings masculinity but into the picture Suddenly the Barbies are lot more receptive of the kens and one of the Barb even admits that they enjoy the kens picking up the work. And the woke trash was the ending epiphany scene that felt hella shoehorned in last minute

i wonder if risk aversion and audiences wanting original stories will cause a surge of movies based on successful books. that could be a good outcome of this phase in hollywood

I mean I watched the new hunger games yesterday and I thought it was pretty good; it gave a pretty good context on president snow. Only wish the ending was a bit better

can you make a video about Sound of Freedom? how come this movie didn't flop even when it had a low budget?

You don't need a high budget to make a hit. You need a good story and good actors and a competent director to bring the script to life. And yes, I'd love to see a video on Sound of Freedom as well, good recommendation 👍

The problem is most of Hollywood tried to smear this movie. They wouldn't act like that unless they had something to hide.

Wokenuts and leftists trashed the movie for being conspiracy in nature and for its Christian references. So naturally it ended up being massively popular with everyone of us. If you see it's rating on rotten tomatoes its like 50% by critics and nearly 100% by audience.

Because Hollywood sucks.

It's quite simple why Hollywood keeps making films nobody asked for , agendas and propaganda must be forced

At one time (around 10 years ago) I visited the movies once or twice every month. Now I hardly ever go, despite having a super new cinema just five minutes walk from my house. It shows mostly kids’ movies, and in any case cinema is now so expensive. The only film I saw at the cinema this year was the Barbie movie, and that was trash. Who wants to pay the thick end of twelve quid to sit in a movie theatre with fewer than ten other people, to watch something you wouldn’t bother to put on, if it was showing on TV? The cinemas are all going to fold, if Hollywood doesn’t sort itself out.

I think this one of the victims of a larger wave of incompetence that's spreading throughout the west, particularly in main stream industries. Sure we can see how bad a lot of movies/games/entertainment are, but we're also seeing more things becoming terrible. How many people actually prefer windows 11 to 10, for instance? When you compare refrigerators/air conditioners to those made 50 years ago, why are the 50 year old models much more reliable? Everything you buy today tries to be "smart" to justify spying on you with the thinnest veneer of convenience/functionality, and that's if it's not just swapped from being a reasonable product to buy to a subscription you now rent. Even if Hollywood decided to try and turn this ship around, who would they even hire? Who are the outstanding directors/writers/actors of the past decade that could even be compared to their counterparts of 30-40 years ago? There might be a handful of good, competent people in those categories but nowhere near as many as there used to be. This isn't a problem that's going to be solved quickly, or painlessly, because this part of the solution will take years, if not decades, to fix.

You’re right directors/actors/writers had more interesting life experiences which they could bring to their stories. Any young film makers now, in the west at least, have been raised in cotton wool, sat in their rooms thinking up new pronouns.

Hello moon. I doubt you do requests on videos, and I know this is outside your main topics (human nature, geopolitics, etc) but I would love a video on and emp or hemp and the threat of it to America. More people need to be informed and I think it would be interesting for many. Thanks, even if you don’t do it. I’m saying thanks for everything you’re doing. And holy cow you upload so often. Amazing work!

Excuse me , TBOSAS is brilliant. Also, it's based on the book & the parts added are very accurate. It's in no way boring, infact it was the first film in a long while I was excited for

i love this channel. please keep up guys, u doin brain amnesty international work here!!

As the day to day lives of people get worse and worse, they want dumb escapism, and as bad as these current films are, they make _something._ The days of thought-provoking, emotionally ripe films are done until we bring a level of stability back to this world.

Evil can't create It can only destroy

I'm from Argentina. This tendence might be widespread worldwide. Not franchises, but some Argentinian movies had like four versions in other countries, lol. Must say, at least to some extent, the versions were adapted to their respective countries quite well. Funny, decades ago many Argentinians disregarded our own film industry.

Honestly I think there are original movies to be made, my concern is that will they have that recognition they deserve?
