Sylvia Wynter's Dream

With all the advancements in film today ranging from CGI to enhancing the overall look and free of a film, to complete animation, there is a large gap in the originality and creativity of the Hollywood movie industry. Year after year millions of dollars is being pumped into feature films with the expectation of greatness and innovation. “This will be the next be thing!” and yet the majority of feature films being created are little more than glorified remakes of old classics. Something many articles such as ‘The Purple Tides Article on Modern Holloywood Films Lack Creativity” tries to desperately to shed light on .

Although it can be argued that no work of art is entirely original, as influence has to come from somewhere. However at what point does it become less flattery or paying hommage to blatantly taking the easy road simply to secure their investment. It is for reasons like this that many young and upcoming creatives will never get the opportunity to showcase their talent and we as viewers remain stuck in a loop of stagnation. Not for the sake of tradition but for the fact that major studios are prevented from even taking risks on something or someone new. Leaving favor to big named directors, writers, and actors to ensure a profit.
