Many movies are released as a series, as one feature length film is not enough to cover all the plot points to fully tell some stories. Because of this, sequels have become a normal part of cinema. However, there is a recent trend that takes this to a new level, one that is doing nothing except ruining the movie going experience and costing movie watchers much more money than they should be spending. Movie producers have been splitting the last part of each series into two parts in a successful attempt to take as much money as possible from film watchers. This is unnecessary, and hurts the viewer because it both lowers the quality of each film and forces the viewer to pay more to finish a film series. The obvious solution is to boycott …show more content…
The audience suffers due to boredom from drawn out plots and from spending money on two movie tickets when one should be all that is needed. The worst example of this is when The Hobbit trilogy is compared to The Lord of the Rings trilogy. The Hobbit is one book, split into three movies. The Lord of the Rings is three books, split into three movies. The word count of the book “The Hobbit” is 95,356 (LotrProject). The three movies made from this book have a combined length of 474 minutes (IMDB). This equates to 201 words of source material for every minute of film. However, the word count of The Lord of the Rings book trilogy is 481,103 (LotrProject) and the movie trilogy has a combined length of 558 minutes (IMDB). This trilogy has 862 words of source material for every minute of film. The Lord of the Rings trilogy has four times as many words of source material per minute as The Hobbit trilogy. This can be seen at its worst with The Hobbit: The Battle of Five Armies. It is a 144 minute movie made from an 1859 word section of The Hobbit novel (IMDB) (Tolkien). It has an average of 12 words of source material for every minute of film, or one word for every five seconds of film. Because of this, The Hobbit movie trilogy was written in a way that drew parts of the plot out far longer than The Lord of the Rings did. In order to make three feature length films from The Hobbit, which …show more content…
The only reason most of these movies are split is because it gives more money to the movie producers. If people stop going to watch these movies in theaters and instead wait for the DVD release, the movie theaters will lose money on any film that was boycotted. When the theaters lose money on films that are split, they will stop screening these split films. Once that happens the movie producers lose their money. Without the incentive of making more money, the movie producers will change their marketing tactics to those that make them the most money. In this case, since people will still be going to the films that are not split, those will be the films making the most money. Once the producers start making movie finals as single pictures again, the quality of cinema goes back up and the viewer is the
Arundel Partners wants to buy the rights to produce the sequels in advance rather than negotiating on a film-by-film basis because otherwise, the studios will have an informational advantage. Later on in the production process, studios will have a greater idea of the quality of the film, making them less likely to sell the rights to more profitable sequels. Advanced rights to the entire portfolio of films mitigates this informational asymmetry and creates an options-pricing model for Arundel. There is value in Arundel’s right to forgo production of the sequel if they discover that the original is a flop. If Arundel chooses to forgo producing a sequel, in this model they are now only taking a $2M loss. To the movie studios, Arundel’s proposal creates great value. By offering the cash for all movies in advance, Arundel is providing upfront financing to the cash-hungry studios, allowing them the resources to pursue other projects, especially big budget blockbusters that have substantial negative costs. The guaranteed profit of the sequel rights fees abolishes some risk for the studios, even though it eliminates their potential upside. By purchasing the rights to an entire portfolio of films from the studios, it also serves Arundel to diversify away the risks of individual films, much like investing in diversified funds of market indexes.
Hundreds of movies are released every year. Filmmakers try to create the next jaw-dropping movie that audiences will stand in line for hours and pay top dollar to see. The key to success is finding ideas that appeal to a mass audience. Viewers are the lifeline of any production company so making something for everyone is a savvy business move for the film industry. To cover all bases, there are over fourteen different genres of movies. Film making is not a solo effort. It is a collaboration between the actors, directors, producers and other key contributors. This combined effort or mise-en-scene includes all the elements of the film to include actors, backdrops, costumes, props and lighting used to meet the director’s vision
After evaluation of the proposed acquisition of the movie sequel rights, we recommend to offer movie studios as a per-movie price to purchase the sequel rights for their entire portfolio of movies the studios are going to produce over the next year.
Although the movies are a beautiful remake of the original book, there a quite a few distinct differences between the two. These differences can be very simple: like the fact that Gollum only has six teeth in the book and nine in the movie, or very complex: like the fact that whole new characters were added to the movie that were not originally in the book. The elves Legolas, Tauriel, and Galadriel played very prominent roles in the book in helping the dwarves and hobbit on their journey, yet they ceased to exist in the original text. Another substantial difference between the book and movies is that in the book, the dwarves and hobbit weren’t aware of Smaug leaving (or being killed for that matter) until they were alerted of this news by the crows. However, in the movie, a pretty large battle took place between the dwarves and Smaug. As far as smaller differences go, in the book the keyhole to get into Smaug’s chamber was lit by the sunset, whereas in the movie the keyhole was lit by the light of the moon; the movie showed Bard’s children and the book didn’t; and in the book it talks of Gandalf throwing pinecones lit with fires of many color, but in the book they were all one color; and the movie featured an attack
Books have to be adapted when they are made into movies. Producers edit scenes to make them shorter, and sometimes even leave them out. It is because of this that most books include more details than their movie counterparts. The Lord of the Rings series has many of these changes, due to the length of the books. Here are some of the events that unfolded differently in the movie and the book. I have found four differences.
All this advertising costs the studio millions of dollars to ensure that the film does well in the box
Despite that the lack of quality is evident, there is limited creativity involved in terms of development and production. There are problems associated with the distribution network also. Movies lose their sheen in this prospective and not do well. This raises the opinion that the box office is facing disaster. I believe that there is disproportion between the number of movies and the cash pool of the industry.
I really enjoyed watching the film about tuberculosis. Tuberculosis was socially constructed because anyone can be affected by tuberculosis. It did not matter what race you were, gender, age or how much money a person had, everyone was susceptible to getting tuberculosis. Families were being broken apart and children were becoming orphans. People were desperately looking for an answer to how to cure this disease because no one had a real answer or cure, so everyone went off of assumptions and at that time the biggest assumption was the fresh air out west.
In America there are numerous killers that have shocked the nation, but one killer in particular had the world completely dumbfounded. It was the ‘Craigslist Killer’ who would have many people asking questions and wondering why a soon to be graduate from medical school would commit such evil acts. With graduation right around the corner and wedding plans to make with his fiancé, he seemed to have the world at his feet. So who is the ‘Craigslist Killer’?
That will be better if writers and directors try to make a product that is universal, that anyone can watch and enjoy. Therefore, Hollywood writers
The Hobbit is a novel that all of us read at one point of our lives. The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug was a little dry compared to
Following the outcry from theaters, the studio is altering its approach on some issues, including
Reading about character developments and drawing people enhances the ability to empathize with others, a crucial skill in navigating complex social relationships. Early in the novel, Hattie moves to Paris to flee from Min because she fears she is the embodiment for Min’s particular anguish. However, she attempts to understand her sister and how some humans are more resilient than others through art. While sketching people’s faces, she “[includes] a detail from Min’s face, sometimes the constellation of tiny freckles or her wide lips (9)”. This is her way of comparing and contrasting people.
The phrase “Know thyself” was actually a motto inscribed on the forecourt of the Tempe of Apollo at Delphi. Later, Plato attributed Socrates to making references to this aphorism in a number of dialogues (e.g., dialogues of Phaedrus). Although this aphorism has been attributed to various Greet philosophers, no one knows for certain its authorship. However, the references apparently made by Socrates, according to Plato, have been interpreted in many ways since Socrates reportedly stated he was not able to “know” himself “as the Delphic instruction has it” (Moore, 2014, p. 390).
The thought that is running through all our heads when we are in English class is, can 't we just watch the movie? The answer is no, we can 't just watch the movie because the book has many major details that the movie does not include. For our age, reading the book will have a major impact on our life ahead, how we look at the world, and how we look at others. Some of us may be unhappy that we are reading the book and not just watching the movie, but we need to realize, that not only with The Hobbit but with all movies, they are vastly different from the books.
