''' MADNESS. INJUSTICE. VIOLENCE.
SACRIFICE : WELCOME TO HELL!
WELCOME TO WORLD!!!'''
Hollywood at its crest! That's the banner headline for a masterpiece of a movie: ''PLATOON''
Don't miss it!!
Any day now, Technology will crack a real human looking character. Someone you will not be able to distinguish from Reality. The situation was already explored in a Simone, a picture that was released some years ago and was directed by Andrew Niccol, who also made Gattaca, and wrote the Truman show.
Al Pacino plays a film producer who loses his leading lady when she storms off set. He replaces her with a Vactor, but when the film is released the computer-generated creation becomes an over night star and the producer struggles to keep the world believing that ''she'' really exists.
We are coming to the point where you won't know if an actor or a newscaster is computerized or flesh and blood. What's more, you won't care, as long as they impress us or moves us.
Therefore, for studios, one bonus of going digital will be the sacking of the difficult, overpaid actors and actresses. Who needs their egos, their foot stamping tantrums.
Hahaha!!
But let's not forget the real contributions actors can make to script and scenes: think of Harrison Ford's now legendary decision to shoot the sword-wielding dervish in Raiders of the lost Ark.
Gladiator director Ridley Scott doesn't want to spoil your fun, at least not for the time being:
''In terms of cost, we are light years away from replacing actors with computer generated imagery.'' he says. ''It will happen one day, but right now I don't think Russel Crowe or Brad Pitt need worry.''
Double Negative's Alex Hope is also sceptical about the future for Vactors. ''I am sure that we will see more films where there are entirely computer generated characters, but they will be fantastical characters such as the Hulk or the Spiderman. The subtle nuances of a great actor or actress cannot be replicated by a machine. I actually hope they will always be better than what we can achieve on computers.''
Blood and chocolat, Good Sires!! In the Illusions of Grandeur, Technology will win, any anytime. Just watch. Just watch!! Greed and Money is a unbeatable algorithm, Art house romance, Chocolat, boasted 60 VFX shots -the river running through the picturesque ''French'' town at the heart of story is the Thames.
Respectful dedication to all the bright Students grappling new Technologies.
Good Night & God Bless!
