Question

How do you think the Lumiere brothers would react to today's cinema world? Do you think filmmakers have gotten more creative, or do they just have more technology to create with? What do you think the Lumiere brothers would be able to do with today's cinema technology?

Answer 1

Answer:

Considering that they created "Arrival of a Train" in 1896, we can understand that the industry and the movie making process has changed a lot in 124 years. I think that if you bring them out of 1896, they will be shocked to see how people make movies these days.

I think that they would be shocked because:

a) the movies usually have a meaning and stand as some sort of political or emotional message. b) there is a lot of CGI that is used to make imaginary or non existent characters exist in a realistic way such as "groot" from the GOTG movies. c) people today use movies to get their own imaginations out in the world and it isn't just for the entertainment of the audience anymore. As sad as that may be, it's true that movies today are always made to prove something or bring up an issue by the people involved so it can be argued by everyone (basically some people make controversial movies just for clout and not 'cause they actually care about that particular issue" so this may not be digestible to the Lumiere Brothers since they actually loved doing what they did for personal reasons, if that makes sense.

I think that if the Lumiere brothers were still here then they would make movies to connect with the audience. More emotional than political. Something that amazes people who are foreign maybe or poor or rich or anything else.

Hope this makes sense.
