Ironman II: The Ambiguity of Technology
Posted on May 11, 2010 | 2 CommentsI would prefer an older Clint Eastwood film or an ambiguous Scorsese film as opposed to a modern “shoot ‘em up” action film. Would it be absolutely asinine to assume that most movies in 2010 are being produced purely on shock effect or tantalizingly appealing content? So I pose a question to you. Do you feel technology is creating less interesting movies or has technology gotten us out of the “BOOM” and “POW” era? Personally, I feel movies rely too much on shock effect and special effects than an ambiguous storyline. Hopefully Ironman 2 has a nice mixture of both an ambiguous plot and an action packed “shoot ‘em up” thriller. But; that’s the best part of going to the movies; everyone has their own opinion. So, essentially, the ambiguous aspect of seeing a movie will never be replaced or completely depleted. -
