This Sunday I have taken up the nobel task of writing about Dark and Gritty Reboots. However such a quest can not be manned by one man alone no, YOU the reader must trek with me into the deep, existential esq realm of Hollywoods newest (and let me add already oldest) trend of filming the same movies yet again, only with the contrast slightly tweaked to get that dark, slimly look every one liked.... in The Dark Knight. I give you these questions to ponder upon.
1). Has there been a dark and gritty reboot that you have enjoyed since The Dark Knight ?
2). Is there any movie do you think deserves a reboot?
3). Are you tired of these half assed things (I know I certainly am)
Are there any other questions that my tiny human brain couldn't think up? Then let me know everything you feel about these movies in the comment section or on my twitter @AGuyTheGuy
And of course, Thanks for reading.
I don't like when movies are literally dark (dark lighting) the entire time. It's annoying and you can't tell me there is just no sun ever...>:(
ReplyDeleteThe Dark Knight wasn't that dark of a film. The lighting was very natural, most of the film just took place at night. Is there a particular scene you had in mind? I think the most notable color-grading on films to make them look dark are Burton's Sweeney Todd and every Harry Potter film since columbus handed over the torch. I prefer movies with much more natural light--like The Dark Knight.
ReplyDeleteI meant more in the sense of Nolan rebooting his Dark Knight franchise with a "darker, grittier vision in mind"
DeleteIf there are any movies I don't like I don't think a reboot is merited, I think it's unnecessary if the original was so good. Last summer I watched Chinatown for the first time and it was outstanding, but to reboot it would bastardize it.
