RUSSIA TO CREATE ITS OWN HOLLYWOOD

[Dave D]

If your company was making rotary phones in the 40s, 50s and 60s it was a profitable business. If they kept pushing that product during the push button revolution they'd have ended. Phones then became cordless and  ultimately mobile.

The business has changed, hanging on to what worked in the past will cause you to end up like the dinosaurs, a footnote in history.

Foreign markets are where these companies go to unload their surplus rotary phones, but they don't realize these countries can buy their new products via the Internet.

The world has changed....

South Korea is probably the biggest rival to Hollywood, in terms of quality of movies.

I'd say Bollywood and Nollywood in terms of movies being put out.

Russia could hire Ray and Jay and Mason Cutler as it top stars

i would imagine Russian Hollywood would end up much like American Hollywood, endless repetitive sequels:

"Putin: The Greatest Man, Ever MCXXIV."

I suspect that Entertainment of the future will be somewhere within the arena of Virtual Reality (VR) and/or Augmented Reality (AR).

Most Getbiggers are most likely already familiar with VR which completely immerses you within a role playing game, but Microsoft has yet to release its system of Augmented Reality (AR)  via their new HOLOLENS product which should eventually revolutionize the world of entertainment.

I foresee a combination of both VR and AR within the next ten years in which you can become a participant in an adventure while remaining within your own living room or in a massive theater especially built for this form of entertainment.

Japan is already developing VR suits which will allow you to feel the sensation of what is appearing on the "screen" ... but there is actually no screen involved.

Just a set of eyeware  that places you directly within the action surrounding you.

And with that suit from Japan you can feel the bullets tear you apart or the teeth of the dinosaur as he is biting your arm off.

To get a better idea of what is coming up .... Google "Microsoft Hololens" and watch the videos for a quick look into the possible future of entertainment.

As per the Japanese "suit", I believe that one is already in production to enhance porn visualization.

Nothing definite yet, but I suspect that James Cameron and other industrious Hollywood producers are already working on the future of "motion pictures" in the form of VR and AR.

So expect to see VR and AR and a Japanese "suit' all come together to form the next major entertainment revolution.

Russia has had very nice movie production industry for a long time.

I notice the problem in Russian film industry: they are way too artistic. Tough and even somewhat challenging to follow for a person who has his whole life been watching rapid tempo simple "kill, fuck, do drugs, fuck, kill" -style movies.
The culture was too different for Russian production to break in western market - save the cultural elite.

Nowadays it's of course different as Russian companies can hire people from west to make productions targeting the global audience.



After all, USA owes much to the Hollywood for spreading the Americanism. Americans were genius in that they made their culture easy to swallow for lazy masses... the people who sit in front of their tellies with brains shut off.

I'm not saying America wouldn't have high end culture but it was them who mastered the art of making simple shit for the uneducated masses.
You can take your average Hollywood production to illiterate hut-living fukin' hutu in Swaziland and he would dig it.
But show him a Tchaikovsky ballet... no.

I've only seen two Bollywood films, but I enjoyed each of them more so than any current SuperHero movie.

Nollywood??? What's that?

I expect Russian films to be dark and somber with historical backgrounds.

I forget the studio behind NICHOLAS (the last Russian Czar) AND ALEXANDRIA (1971) but it has been one of the most memorial movies of my lifetime.

I would like to see Russia's version of that part of history.

No bad...

What they should do asap is a movie about Putin.
Leonardo DiCaprio already offered to play 'young' Putin.

It would almost certainly be a global success.

I hate this new feminist agenda pushing in the new movies coming out its a total turn off.

Me too.
But then I think... women are humans like us men. It's kind of understandable they want to see females playing bigger roles and being portrayed as something else than typical bimbos. Women make up probably more than half of the mankind and as money is tight, we will see much more stuff being made with women on mind. They have money too these days.

But both being crap, it all works out.
