RE: Movies with Messages: A Review of Snowpiercer (PI)

in #philosophy7 years ago

Often they have no real depth and they produce about as much thought in the viewer as watching an old man mowing the lawn in his pajamas on a Sunday morning.

Im sure you're not talking about Jumanji? I had not one, but multiple epiphanies from watching it. lol

I think people are tired these days, both writers and the audience, we just want to be entertained most times. I remember how hard it was to watch Hidden Figure but once I did, I had to watch it like 5 more times. These days, they just churn out remakes of old movies but once in a while, a well thought out movie comes along.

I will just go read the story of the snow piercer on a movie site while waiting for your opinion. I hate suspense. lol

Sort:  

I haven't seen Jumanji lol. I'll have to check it out. I agree that people typically just want to be entertained which is completely fair. I think a lot of stuff is just produced for the money as well, which is also fair.
Yeah there are some really rare gems which are amazing.

Yeah my full article is over 2500 words which is too much for one sit down. I don't think people typically want to read a huge essay all at once.

yeah, producing for money is fair and wanting to be entertained is good too but it's always great to make something reasonable once in a while. By the way, Jumaji is just entertaining, "no single thought was provoked" while I watched.

I prefer how you make most posts in parts, it makes it nice to read, otherwise we will all be leaving the "Thanks for this post, it's really informative" type of comment.

By the way, Jumaji is just entertaining, "no single thought was provoked" while I watched.

oh haha. I thought you were being serious lol.

well, I'm glad to hear that you prefer the posts broken into parts. Its nice getting the feedback. I agree though, sometimes there are posts that I know will be interesting to me but then I scroll through them and see that they are massive, so I don't even bother reading them haha.

I wasn't. Lol. I believe people don't realize long form content don't engage a lot of people except those with patience and time. Looking forward to the next part.

I'll let you know what I think of Jumanji once I watch it. Maybe we can exchange epiphany's :)

I'll be surprised if you have any while you watch. lol.
