Message: [QUOTE="Parasite_Steve, post: 89024, member: 5378"] To chime in on this general discussion: There’s the old line "there’s no bad publicity" which unfortunately applies to depicting literally [I]anything[/I] in media. When you have movies like falling down, starship troopers, taxi driver, fight club etc. or a character like homelander in the boys to name a recent example of this, no matter how obvious you make your point as an author, how obvious the satire is, not everyone will get it and in turn will see the horrible things the characters say and do as aspirational rather than as a warning. In the same vein it’s virtually impossible to make an anti-war movie because of that. Full Metal jacket was very successfully used as a recruitment tool for the marines. Btw it’s really funny to hear the term pre-hd for movies shot on celluloid because when you look at good scans of old movies they look incredibly crisp. 35mm film can easily be scanned at 4K without any loss of quality. 70mm even more. IMAX? Just ridiculous. If you think older movies automatically look low-res, lack color, are very grainy you’re not watching quality sources. Also, just a sidenote: modern movies have a [B][I]lot[/I][/B] more cgi than you would think. Like [B][I]so[/I][/B] much more than you could imagine. To illustrate this: Forrest Gump has probably more visual effects shots than Jurassic park. Even movies that use "no cgi" as a marketing gimmick use it a whole lot, it’s just become invisible. CGI has always been a marketing term. No one in the industry uses it. If someone wants to sell you a movie "without cgi" they’re trying to pull the wool over your eyes. [/QUOTE]
