Zack Snyder Ruins Everything

Фильм және анимация

Do you ever wonder how zombies became so played out? Or why blockbusters have to be 'dark and gritty' these days? Or why you can't shake that overwhelming feeling of exhaustion and nihilism when you watch a Zack Snyder movie? Dreaming in Neon has the answers.
This is a story about a bad film director, and the very bad ideas their movies are spreading. (Parts of this essay were greatly inspired by Christian Thorne's piece "The Running of the Dead": sites.williams.edu/cthorne/ar...)

    All the Trumpists are Snyder fans.Snyder fans are all conservative morons. They love Snyder because Snyder is a conservative moron who showcases conservative "values": muscles, guns, white aryan superiority, religious fundamentalism, ridiculous patriotism, etc. Snyder sucked right from the onset in "300", which is the most conservative and outright racist, sexist, anti-LGBT piece of propaganda Hollywood has produced in decades, where the enemy (the Persians aka Iranians) are blatantly dehumanized and just cannon fodder, where the fascist Spartans are glorified and quote the fucking Bible (yes, I'm not joking), where the enemies are either effeminized or painted as gay. That's why the conservatives and the alt-right love it so much. That's why the Bush administration loved it so much.

    I never got that idea from Robocop remake. I think that film’s mistake was existing, regardless of its merits or lack thereof. By that, I mean that the original is such a well known, well regarded, Singular classic that the remake would have an even harder time than most remakes in being compared to it. If there was never an original Robocop, then the newer film might come off better, though it would still be a fairly ordinary film. It does try to tell a different story, or at least have a different overall theme and character arc. Which is to its favor. But when it references stuff from the original, it tends to try and invert them or use them in a different way, which actually draws more attention to them. Like you’re watching and say to yourself, “Ahh, Padilla is clearly trying to reference the original film but invert those references.” I guess the problem of remaking that film is similar to what would happen if someone tried to remake Gone With the Wind or Lord of the Rings or The Matrix. The shadow cast by the originals are just to big.

Even though the movie and even the main actor (Wagner Moura) says that the main character is a "monster", he still thinks he is a hero, just like the people here who thinks "a good criminal is a dead criminal".

This leads to the audience that the aren't going trust the studio about the reboots and remakes anymore as if they are tired of it, and demanded for originality. However, if you want to make a reboot that can be done right, then you should respect the original source material and the hatred towards reboots and remakes would be reduced.

    The thing about Zombies is that they generally represent the fears of the general public at that moment in time. For example, while I did not see the original Dawn of the Dead, it took place in the late 70's. Woodstock had taken place 9 years ago in 1969. The traditional values that had held up American culture were being heavily challenged and rejected. Hard work and quality tools and materials were being replaced with convenience and the "Mall Culture" of the 80's and 90's. So of course, the zombies attack in the malls, stripping you of your humanity until there's nothing left but a shambling, mindless mass of moaning meat staggering from store to store, looking for something (or someone) to "consume". Shaun of the Dead. 2004. The fear is that of complacency, and the consequences that result from said complacency. Shaun's girlfriend is leaving him because he's TOO content with his life and has no ambitions. His best friend is a lazy bastard who lives on his couch, and his roommate despises them both, though he himself is trapped in his own level of complacency, which ultimately leads to him becoming a zombie. Every zombie throughout the film is another person who lived a complacent life; the store clerk, Mary (the zombie), Shaun's own mother, the neighbors, and finally Ed (Shaun's friend). And even after the smoke has cleared, people use the zombies for the same menial tasks that they would have done when they were alive. Shaun and his girlfriend accept a life of mediocrity, and the whole message is that we're ALL zombies, it's just that some of us aren't dead yet.

    Some people on here are just crying because they like Snyder, or some of his work, so they're arguing that the author of the video is just mad that Snyder's politics don't reflect his own. (Some are more measured in their criticism but make a similar point.) I think there *is* something there; Ayn Rand is fucking garbage and I think telling a story based on her edgelord worldview is going to result in a pretty unsatisfying movie. But it's not like he's unfit to direct *any* movie; it's not like he was a bad choice for something like Watchmen. But for "Superman"? My fucking god, I can't imagine a worse director.

    This video essay needed more citations from snyder's works beyond dawn of the dead and 2 seconds of Watchmen. It also should have noted how much Snyder has been influenced by Ayn Rand, rather than focusing solely on Hobbes; Snyder's repeatedly tried to make a film of Ayn Rand's The Fountainhead to no avail. How did anyone think it would be a good idea to give Snyder, the ultimate cynic, the job of portraying Superman, the ultimate embodiment of Locke's humanist ideals?

    You raise a really good point. I had thought about including something on Ayn Rand when I was writing the script for this, but I balked at making the video any longer because at the time I was still pretty new to editing. The objectivist / 'rational self-interest' lens does go a long way in explaining why Snyder's films are so philosophically muddled (or just plain confused, as with Watchmen). I think this is worth bringing up in the video essay on Joss Whedon I'm planning to release in the run-up to the Justice League -- thank you for the thoughtful comment.

    You're welcome! Tbh imo Rand is largely the 1940s iteration of Hobbes (like Hobbes sans religion), so focusing on the Hobbes wasn't a mistake or anything like that. I'm not sure if my initial comment conveyed how much I agree with and enjoy your video; it's really well made and convincing. Mostly I just would have liked a few more citations that show Snyder's cynicism, but maybe that's an indulgent ask of a video that's already 16m long.

    Nah It's funny that you come to the same conclusions about politics in media that Errant Signal (who you referenced in the video) so eloquently rejects in his videos. Even though I generally don't agree with Snyders more obtuse points, I respect his vision and I like the way he portrays the stories he tells. I feel like you have to be an educated viewer of content and acknowledge politics while not also mindlessly accepting them. Just saying outright "don't go to see these films" is harmful, especially when you realistically know that any movie with Batman or Superman is going to do well at the box office regardless of protest.

    I disagree, but you’re entitled to your opinion, as we Snyder fans are entitled to ours. It’s freedom of speech. For me, Zack Snyder is my inspiration and why I want to be a director. I agree with some of the criticisms in this video. I do think he takes the politics a little hard sometimes. But with that said, I think you and a lot of people in this comment section could benefit on seeing positive analyses on Batman v Superman and Zack Snyder’s Justice League. I’d link some, but KZread is anti-linking. They’ll just delete it. I’m not looking to start a fight. I just want to share my perspective on the whole matter. I think he is a master visual storyteller, but the Snyder Cut is proof that he is awesome at world building and character development when he’s not being held back by studios. I think the big studios are the real villains here, cutting the wrong stuff out of his work, so it looks like that he is a bad director when he really isn’t. I think, if some of his other less well-received films were to receive the director’s cut treatment, you all would see that his films are much deeper than you think. Again, you all are free to have your own opinions. I just disagree because I know that his films aren’t terrible. There are plenty of videos as to why. I probably won’t continue the discussion in reply threads, so thank you all for listening.

    Well, Watchmen is from Alan Moore, so you can expect a lot of literature references, political discussion and subtle (and some not so subtle) criticism of society (that, even though it was released in 1986, it is still relevant). That's why I think Snyder fails: he fails to capture the essence of the narrative, but who can blame him? It's a 3-hour-long movie to one of the most intricate comics of all time.

    I have yet to have a positive experience with a Snyder fan. Not one person was like, "Yeah, I get how you wouldn't like anything about Batman v Superman, it's not for everyone, but I really appreciate Ben Affleck's performance, etc." Nearly all of them weaponize the tragic death of his daughter, evoke a vague air of persecution by referencing a receipt-free, "they mocked his daughter's suicide, therefore they aren't allowed an opinion," towards anyone who even mentions Superman. One person even got upset when I called out his oft referencing of their suicide prevention charity as a shield for criticism for all these toxic assholes that harass others. "That's not all of us, we saved lives!" Y'all want a better reputation, stop using the supposed good deeds of a few to defend the douchebaggery of the many. Call them out, end the dismissal of different opinions to the point of harassment, stop trying to invent a rivalry where you have to say insane things like, "Man of Steel destroyed Iron Man!", stop chiming into every discussion just to be contrary, stop yourself before you say something and ask, "Will this make other Snyder fans look good?"

    I dislike most of his work but enjoyed the Dawn of the Dead remake because if you swap out "western civilization" with "the human race, or at least all but the richest humans, and also like all biodiversity on Earth" you have a much more factual statement than the crap he believes. The disaster happens. The world goes to hell, and humanity uses it as an excuse to unleash their inner demons. And the people who survive are the ones suited for such a world, those who are happier in it. It's an expression of a desire to get it over with and just enjoy what you can while it lasts, because it's hopeless to actually plan your life around success here and expect to enjoy a single moment and not die filled with despair over your regrets. For a lot of people, their lives feel like a prison. When their normal life is destroyed and there's no hope for it anymore, paradoxically that is hope. By letting go of the hope you have for saving yourself or the world, you have access to the hope of enjoying the world you live in. Yeah, definitely nihilistic and cynical. But, if we already were thinking about socioeconomic and climate science politics as a person when we watched it first instead of focusing on the creator's awful subtle racism, there's a massively relatable story in there of a desire I think a lot of us feel pretty often these days. Sometimes it seems like it would just be better if we stopped this will-we-or-won't-we with the dystopian hell, because we're so tired of fighting this culture war that's sometimes just a straight up war. If it didn't matter anymore, the constant weight we feel on us would be lifted. For all the awfulness that requires, nobody is wrong for feeling the power of that idea. You go bad when you stop keeping the awfulness in mind. Otherwise, it can be a comforting fantasy for people to imagine a life where, regardless of how they have to struggle to survive, the current struggle is _finally_ over. The next one might suck even more, but at least it's something else. I'm fine with such matters being in a zombie movie (just... drop the racism!) but it doesn't belong in Superman.
