Matt Damon on Netflix: “The standard way to make an action movie that we learned was, you usually have three set pieces. One in the first act, one in the second, one in the third,” Damon explained. “You spend most of your money on that one in the third act. That’s your finale. And now they’re like, ‘Can we get a big one in the first five minutes? We want people to stay. And it wouldn’t be terrible if you reiterated the plot three or four times in the dialogue because people are on their phones while they’re watching.’”
そうでなければ、視聴者は最後まで映画を見ない。集中力も忍耐力もなく、注意力は秒単位でしか持たない。 デイモンによれば、多くの人がスマホやタブレット、ノートPCで映画を見るため、監督たちは撮影や映像美にこだわる意味を感じなくなっている。 大スクリーン向けに作られてきた映画は、小さな画面向けのコンテンツへと変わり、その品質もそれに見合ったものになりつつある。
This is in contrast to what’s happening with Podcast and Substack. Maybe this is happening because shows inside Netflix are somewhat being commoditized (weren’t they producing good movies when the company was at growing phase of the S-curve?). This is probably inevitable with corporate networks.revisit
