Why does it feel like movies are forgotten super quickly these days, meanwhile films from the early 2000’s and earlier would manage to get permanently ingrained in pop culture?
Is it due to the rise of franchises making things blur together?
Compare the cultural impact of a film like Gladiator to one that grossed way more and had much more viewership like Avengers Endgame
Because no one watches them
It's nothing to do with movies by themselves. The pop culture machine has perfected the endless content assembly line in all forms of media.
i wanna fuck that ass
It's because movies are bad now. They're shallow, don't immerse you into the story, and most of the time they take you out of it due to some modern progressive messaging. In the case of MCU, everyone is a quipmaster and the characters act like they know they're in a movie.
A very small percentage becomes a classic movie people will remember and still talk about, or refer too years later. Same thing in the music industry. Where people will claim they dislike current music and prefer older bands like 'the Beatles' or 'Rolling Stone', and convieniently forget that there was alot of shitty music produced in those days aswell.
An example of a current era classic I can think of would be 'The Dark Knight'
she's perfect lads
Movies are made to appeal to a worldwide audience now. That means anything the Chinese won't understand or enjoy, like Western humor, history, or romance, gets tossed out the window, leaving you with mindless action movies and not much else.
>Is it due to the rise of franchises making things blur together?
I was just watching The Fast and the Furious the other day.
Compared to the countless sequels, it's the only one with soul. Even if it's cheesy, it's actually directed to keep the pace up, the quotes quotable and the scene with no action and no dialogue are all extremely well shot for a movie of that tier.
In comparison the new movies have huge action scenes where the action drags for way too long and they don't capture any culture group to give the movie that soul.
Prior to the rise of CGI in the mid-90s actual stories were needed to prop up a movie's success. Now movies are roller coaster rides of special effects without stories. All forgettable.
because movies and tv shows take themselves too seriously these days. the 90s were playful.
TDK is 12 years old, it doesn't feel like the movies of today at all, it was releseased before the MCU was a thing.
Based IG chick flexing on farmers
Low IQ take
Too many dumb sites talking about new movies and user error.
>fat arms
not even joking
Memorable dialogue or scenes.
Took themselves seriously when they needed to.
Good colour design.
Good cinematography.
The earlier movies had these, and they are much rarer now. A lot of the "memorable" dialogue now is just forced meme quips, which have no staying power. Or they are completely surface level "I say exactly what I mean" lines with no subtext.
Personally I blame 9/11 and Snyder
You're halfway right. The pacing is all over the fucking place and decent writing is replaced for cheap effects and one-liners. It takes a lot more time to write decent characters and dialogues. Deadlines are crazy these days so I am sure, a lot of processes are skipped in favour of shitting out a semi-final draft
goddamn that picture is fucking hilarious.
Even 00's era films weren't as predominantly empty like 2010's films.
>be me

The farmer has every right to find a better job that pays more
...
My bad, I felt that it came out around the 201X's

Why can't rice be harvested by machinery?
It probably could. The farmers can't afford and probably don't want them though.
Pirating wasn't popular back then and streaming was non-existent.
The real reason: with more movies being produced every year its harder and harder for something to be immortalized, as there's so much content, people will just move on to the next big thing
But I know you did this thread to make a circlejerk so something something SJWs woke femininism reeeeee
Because they are shittier
because it's cheaper to pay pennies to some third worlder than investing on a rice harvesting machine
Just think of something like:
"Life, uh, finds a way."
We have a lot going on here:
Understatement: This is a line about dinosaurs eating the entire cast.
Ambiguity: Answers the question asked without literally answering it. "Are you implying a group composed of entirely female animals will breed?"
Narrative Subtext: Grant, the main character, finds his way in the end and realizes he wants to progress in life and have a family. John Hammond realizes that what he really wants is the family he already has and progress could take that away. The line addresses the entire dilemma of whether progress is good or bad to the best that the writers could figure it out.
The first two are much more important for memorability, because they get the audience to think and interpret the content of the statement.
No matter what you do for money we all suffer the same pain of existence.
His ass is not that good looking, though
Indeed but I think everyone would rather suffer the pain of existence with money in the bank. I'm doing an internship and it pays like shit. I'm never confortable spending money and I'm always one unplanned expense away from not having money to eat. It's fucking stressful
the picture isn't high res enough for us to make that judgment
>reddit spacing
When you die, which you will, none of that will matter.
This is like the most reddit image.
>le nothing matters because u die
meme nihilist pls go
theres no coherent culture anymore for a movie to be ingrained to. the idea of a quintessentially american movie / canon of important works makes no sense anymore other than as a historical atavism. we're too atomised.
maybe
Pretty much
Faggot.
That's true, but that account for everything because of how much movie discussion happens online, where people self segregate into culture blocks.
save some. it's tough on a small income but it's almost always possible to save a little bit. just keep 1-2k in the bank for that unplanned expense. i make min wage and even i managed to do that. i dont have much but i have the luxury of not having to bend over backwards for my boss cause if i get fired i can just coast for a couple of months
Don't wish for an easy life. Wish for the strength to endure a hard one.
is that a snippet from berndt petersons self help literature
Erm, I don't know what that means but don't reply to me again.
I actually do that. Crashed my car in November, and it burned my entire savings account. I'm starting over but I can say I'm quite disheartened anyway. Motivated me to go from my shitty dead end job to a job that actually uses my degree, so that's something. I'm banking on getting a raise when the internship ia over next Septrmber
I wish for the strength to turn my life into a easy life.
garbage movies like MCU shit are disposable and meaningless fun
other movies like BR2049 have moments that resonate for years
>Oh yeah I am totall concerned about this man picking rice. I just have to stand there half naked showing my ass because it can't think about anything else right now. Damn, that poor hard working man. Pls like'n share
oh alright then. well, good luck bud
we're all gonna make it brah
Yep. They cater to chinks now too who are easily offended and have censorship rules. Which in some ways is a good thing, but it lessens the cultural impact.
Also, Netflix churning out a neverending stream of globohomo crap. We don't have time to dwell on 1 piece of entertainment and can watch whatever whenever. In our parents' time they had to watch something when it came on tv/to theatres and that's it. They had to digest it. Now you watch something then are just skipped ahead to the next movie in an endless sea of movies. It's much more convenient, sure, but it has no soul. Like when you're part of some third world village with an ancient family tradition of artisin craftsmanship, with a strong interdependent local community, knowing the farmer, baker, butcher, smith, tailor, etc., and an automated factory is built down the road, and everyone ditches their familial heritage and slaves away in the factory.
