Hollywood's peculiar feature |
|
There are some Hollywood movies which gain international recognition, awards, and billions of dollars in a Studio budget. But why do we observe typically shot boy-meets-girl movies? It seems as if Film Making Industry lacks of new ideas and puts on screen a dear old plot to make on a living. We, as an ordinary audience, observe scenes of violence in dynamic camera with blurred image at the beginning, resurrection of those dejected and offended. Then the redemption of the whole humanity is followed which is attended with rough jokes, violence again, added with funny and hilarious moments. And usually everything ends up with a happy end. And always main character - usually a boy or man - gains huge experience in many fields, changes for 'good', and meets his beloved model-looking woman of quite plain appearance - and they live long and happily. And all the time main characters are strictly divided into good and bad with no obvious tints of opposite, which is quite impossible in reality. Or maybe their actions are shown in such a manner - as strictly good or bad ones - no matter what heroes and their enemies are doing actual movie makes people believe only what they see with no analysing of true reasons of such behaviour. Most of action movies are shot within that frame which is why main plot of a film has no interest. But what exactly drives hundreds of people to go to the cinema, spend huge amount of money buying licensed DVD to enjoy them at home? Special effects and the way they are realized on a screen - that is the answer. A huge number of qualitative special effects and rapid growth of new digital technologies can blow one's mind and immerse the whole audience into the virtual world of a Hollywood movie. It's audience begin to see, hear, think, and even feel what main characters do. And the main point of Hollywood is that it does not really present an outstanding, peculiar, and breathtaking plot to a wide audience, but the very essence of its plot realization in action, the way it effects people and make them adore by certain movies, organizing clubs and even streams being totally obsessed by their beloved movie stars or certain directors. One should realise that Hollywood is not a plot-oriented industry: people do not really think over certain dialogues, analyse situations of a certain episode - it does not matter after all - but they experience certain feelings they could not experience in real life, something new and unexplored, something that opens up their imagination and makes their life be filled with bright images; and all of this is due to special effects which are, perhaps, the main thing that drives ordinary people to consumption of Film Industry's production. Hollywood would never survive without it's army of fans and good experts in the field of computer graphics and digital technologies in the first place. So do not think much about insignificancy of Industry's movies, let Hollywood solve technique problems and leave well-thought and organized plots and messages to certain talented and quite independent film makers. Those people never need a blind army of fans, but are quite concerned about fragile and sometimes even imperceptible message they try to present to people. |
