[the truth]

movies and music videos special effects and over editing have actually gotten worse over the past 20 odd years (movies over 30 odd years)

like the original star wars trilogy, the american werewolf in london(legendary movie, the sequel had a cartoon monster? pathetic) , zulu, willy wonka (watched it with the kids recently , the old classic was way better than the remake) , spartacus, the greatest story ever told, the italian job(1000 times better than the remake)ben hur, cleopatra, james bond movies etc

all looked infinitely more real and better than todays movies, most of which look like humans stood in cartoon worlds...take the hulk movies? he was a 20 foot high green cartoon? it was just pitiful

even james bond, the jet pack and the magnificent sets in goldfinger looked magnificent in technicolour, bond looked like a real regular albeit super cool man, the spy who loved me, the sets were awesome, the underwater car scene awesome....goldeneye was terrific though...the recent movies have gone down the route of cgi more....it looks absurd, unreal and lazy

the art work and the sets they built in the 60s 70s 80s took far greater time and far greater attention to detail....nowadays we think were so clever with cgi and computer graphics, but theyre lazy , poor to look at, they take away the real human interaction, its just boring and looks rubbish

instead of fawning over these cgi people and editors as geniuses, lets be more honest, its rubbish

we need to get a balance, build proper movie sets again, get the 100s of extras (as they did in braveheart which was visually awesome, but it was a one off movie sadly) use the cgi if necessary but use it sparingly. try and get the movies back to being magical, human and at least set in some sort of reality

even moonraker with roger moore set in space looked more human than the recent stuff

I dont want to see comptuer generated images of people and animals and monster, I want to see human beings with proper expressions on their faces, I dont want to see space invaders in 3g , i want to see the next marlon brando and bette davis, the next bogey and bacall, acting out magnificent screenplays, telling majestic stories , did casablanca need a cartoon robot in the middle to liven it up? nope, the chemistry, the acting, the drama, the story, the romance, the screenplay , the human strengths and weakness lit up the screen more than all the cgi in the world

keep it real hollywood and lt us use our imagination
