The evolutionary ladder of cinema 🪑
First level
Pasture 🦠
(ciliates, flagella and other microorganisms)
This is where all the Marvel, DC movies and all the comics are located.
This also includes 98% of all Disney cartoons and all of Netflix.
The target audience for this kind of content is people who come to the cinema and devour it.
The main thing for them is to relax, not to overload their brains, and if there is some meaning invested in what they are watching, then the audience reduces everything to pronunciation.
and there Tony Stark handed out delicious pussy to the villain
and there the villain was scary and wore a scary mask
Here, the plot is usually built around the idea of friendship, relationships, love... the search for compromises - everything that is close to everyone and is designed for everyone.
Well, to make money (of course).
World. Friendship and good Chewing Gum as a movie ✌️
Second level
Newts and swamp dwellers 🦎
There are films here that have an idea and are made for the sake of an idea, but this is a transitional stage in which authors usually present their debut works.
The golden mean before the great ascent.
It's easy to slide down, hard to get up.

George Lucas a cool author who also tried to solve problems and speak out — I made my own THX 1138 (a conceptual statement about the future)


I did it, and it was screwed at the box office.
After this he said something like this:
Well, that’s it, bitch, if you don’t want to understand me, then I’ll now show you how to make money 💰
after this phrase the Star Wars universe appeared.


Of the recent dropouts (who didn't make it through the filter), the industry gobbled up David Fincher. He directed The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.

The film failed at the box office and this became the starting point for Fincher’s collaboration with Netflix (“House of Cards”, “Mindhunter”, “Love, Death and Robots” - these are all brilliant works, but they will never receive an Oscar and will not go down in the history of world cinema).
Third level
Get ready, the movie is about to start here 🎬
Perhaps not very successful, but a clear example.
Tarantino, which any person will call you outstanding the author

However, if you approach an ordinary person and ask
Did you like Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and what was it about?
we will see how the gaze becomes dull...
There was a lot of hype around the film, but the film itself is not standard.
It’s difficult to understand auteur cinema of this format without context. This is not watching The Avengers while sipping beer through a straw.

The higher the level, the more complex the problems become and the more difficult they become to show.
Own plot, director, and sound techniques appear. Your own style is being formed that allows you to immediately understand who shot it and what idea he was trying to convey through it.
Dessert 🍓
Why do people like Frozen?
Well, let’s do this... there are children whose bladder simply won’t allow them to sit for 4 hours and watch a serious picture; they need to reduce the story into more understandable and simpler parts (for this, the format of a musical [divided into several parts or episodes] is ideal).
Simple plots, simple characters, a light and beautiful story, but at the same time about a strong and independent Anna, who can save herself without the help of Kristoff (or understand that he is still needed by her side).
About the fragile girl Elsa, who can rule the whole kingdom Germany Arendelle alone.

It educates.
Whatever one may say, Netflix also educates! 2-3 series and men without panties lying in the same bed will no longer cause a blush on the face and seem like something unusual.

Why do people read bad literature? Not because they themselves are bad and don’t understand. You just need to understand good literature and good cinema. You need to spend your time and watch “Sin” before the film “Dear Comrades”, and before sin watch “Paradise”
Look at the paintings of those with whom the author studied and what problems he has recently worked on - then new readings and new meanings will open up.
But you can start with Frozen,
evolution always starts small.
