  • The same argument can be made that digital allows for a multiplying of films being made at shorter run times

    That ignores the creative side of movie making though. Yes, they could make more short movies, but they need a story and script to make the movies from, and that is something that hasn’t become any faster to create with time.

    If you are going to make more movies, then you need more people on that process. People who might not be as good at it. You would then quickly end up with a lot more “direct to video” quality movies.


  • Bloat is a problem that a lot of stories have because their creators can’t recognize what needs to be in there and what’s just filler. Sure, there are moments and genres that rely on lingering, but in general more isn’t better, it’s just more.

    Oh yeah, there are definitly makers that abuse it to make longer movies that don’t need to be long. Just a bunch of filler that doesn’t realy add to the story. I can’t mention any on the top of my head, but i know i have seen movies where that was a thought i had.


  • It makes sense that they are getting longer doesn’t it?

    It has gotten easier to film more, with digital storage of the film. It has gotten easier to edit. It has gotten easier to transport bigger films around the world.

    So with it becoming easier to make longer movies, why wouldn’t the makers use that to do more story telling in their movies?

    Should maybe the movies then take in to account that people watching the movies might want a break, and make the movies with an intermission intended? sure.
