16 ... seems as though everyone wanted to be Venkman, with it's nonchalant and glib repartee. Kate McKinnon's character's name is even similar. Not for one second believe, that her name, Holtzmann, isn't drawing the comparison between the 2. She's also got a bit of Egon in her. I heard it when I typed it. Not what I meant. The whole were not phased by any of this dialogue and reactions, is nothing but woke signaling. You can't show a female even being slightly concerned about the "power of a particle accelerator" Because someone would bitch n moan, that's it's furthering the patriarchal, and misogynistic view men have, thats women are scared by anything technical, and sciencey.

Honestly. Not to mention the scene(when testing the packs), imo, was clunky. Every action seemed in a way accented. Like it was trying to show us an emotion/atmosphere was trying to be conveyed, but was so amateurish. An example when the two ladies backed away when the machine was turned on. They did it to show that they were worried for their safety and took a precautionary step back. It felt so forced and looked, like an excessively dramatized movement. In the original it was suttle and seamless. The guy casually moved over as close to the elvator wall as possible. He didn't need to use an entire scene change to convey it, or a zoom in on his face, just a simple move over. Simplicity.

I just rewatched the original with my daughter. One thing that stuck out to me is the power of certain scenes like you said. One of the other really moving scenes is when the Ghostbusters get let out of jail by the mayor and they have to regroup for the final battle at Dana’s apartment. The music, “Saving the Day”, Ecto 1 being escorted by the cops down 5th avenue, the whole city rallying behind them is just so emotionally powerful without throwing a ton of CGI and corny jokes at you. Movies today don’t know how to take their time with things like this to build a scene and draw emotion, rather they fire off a million things at once for the short attention span person and hope you’ll just be in awe of the pretty lights.

1:08 I like that Ray and Egon respect the power of the proton packs enough to be visibly uncomfortable around them. These things are DANGEROUS. In "Ghostbusters 2016" one team member is flying around, clearly not in control of an "unlicensed nuclear accelerator" while everyone else is standing around, making jokey-jokes when they could be incinerated at any moment. You should not be acting this way if you know what your equipment can do!
@dispatch-indirect92069 місяців тому
I think that's also why they felt the need to explain that the obviously menacing sound was dangerous: there are no consistent cues from character behavior, nor do things like slamming into concrete seem to matter, so the audience gets hopelessly mixed messages as to whether the thing is dangerous or not. So because they're too dumb to write a scene that where people and things behave coherently, they have explain everything to their confused audience, thus treating the audience like idiots.

@TheMule718 місяців тому
That's the point. Bad writing. In the original, comedy is consistent with the purpose of the scene... let's tell the audience why they have that weird high-tech backpack. Which is a dangerous nuclear device. Comedy comes from them being uneasy with it. Which is a totally normal reaction. In the remake, the characters w/o any explation are totally chill about it. I mean in the original it's dangerous just turning the accelerator on. In the sequel two character at first look concerned (it's the writers' nod to the original scene, but w/o understanding it) then are cool when it goes totally out of control. The whole scene makes no sense. Is it dangerous or is it not? Are the characters worried or are they not? 2 minutes + of screentime spent to establish nothing. Or worse, to establish confusion.
@KneelB4Bacon8 місяців тому
@@TheMule71 Yup. This. Egon explains what these things are and even mentions why it's so dangerous to cross the streams. ("try to imagine all life as you know it stopping instantaneously and every molecule in your body exploding at the speed of light"). The remake focuses on the awful physical comedy and any questions about the proton packs themselves remain unanswered. So are these things dangerous or not? Well, we don't know, so we don't care because we don't know what the stakes are.

Either you misheard something he said or your memory retroactively inserted his response (to the backlash after the release) as if it was something he said before the premiere. Here's a pre-movie release article that comes the closest to him saying something about the gender wars, but the context reveals his sentiments are excitement for little girls to see the movie: “I wanted for little girls to be able to see themselves up on the screen,” Feig says. “The original one exists, so you can see boys doing it, but how fun for girls to have this experience!” That’s why he pushed so hard for new Ghostbusters action figures. “There was some resistance,” he says, “because there’s a fear that boys wouldn’t buy toys from a movie starring girls. But guys have such great feelings of nostalgia because the original had a lot of gear. I’d like girls to be able to put on a proton pack and run around.” www.vulture.com/2016/07/paul-feig-ghostbusters-reboot-c-v-r.html

@@YourMajesty143 That's one of the issues. You build up an audience, then years later, some moron copies you, and remakes your thing just because yours is no longer "modern", without any genuine idea of how it should be executed. But there's your good old audience, and they at first think there's gonna be more to what you've created. Only to realise it's not even been actually made for them, it's only a trap with the same title luring them in. The only idea here was to modernize it as well, and incorporate the modern norm. Apart from that, little to no original ideas added. Just modern CGI (modern CGI is still sh*t though...) and women instead of men, just because fEmInIsM. Meanwhile they say how feminism is not about raising women's rights ABOVE men's, but to equalize rights for a good reason; so that no one has to suffer their loss of "autonomy", which sounds fine, but then... kid me not, if that's really true, the very advertisers misunderstand what they advertise.

@yderga87074 роки тому
@@Hirnlego999 I agree that it's stupid to hate something simply because of a gender or race change without giving it a sporting chance. And I'm sure there was a great number of people who didnt go see this film simply because it was a mostly female cast. To me that wasnt the issue, it was partly the issues stated in the video, and some others including the off putting messages from the director. The reason I mentioned that this list didnt include gender was because of the producers that make bad female centric movies and blame it on men, some preemptively make assumptions their movie will do badly because men are sexist, meanwhile we have a plethora of films containing female leading roles that have male support like kill bill, wonder woman, alien. Personally speaking I get more excited to see a GOOD female lead than a good male lead at this point. But when I start hearing the directors talk about how thr movie isnt for men, and how itll probably fail because it's a female cast, it genuinely makes me not want to see the film, like birds of prey, which actually ended up being a decent film. At the end of the day, producers need to stop this moronic way of pandering and simply focus on good storytelling and good writing, regardless of gender, color or race.
@Hirnlego9994 роки тому
@@yderga8707 "we have a plethora of films containing female leading roles that have male support like kill bill, wonder woman, alien. " There are examples of course, but they are all quite few in numbers in comparison. At least the 80s muscle macho man died out and a lot of the newer heroes are more brainiac. Birds of prey I didn't like but it was not a serious movie at all, she starts up early by blowing up a major factory and likely getting a huge number of people killed just there, so she isn't exactly a role model or anything. Then the movie made the mistake of bringing in too much her gang, and many of them don't seem to be remarkable at all in many ways. I mean the girl just accidentally pick pocketed the wrong person. And one can sort of fight, and scream? Meh. Here I'd rather see her in a role like Joker, or have him meet her in Joker 2 at the asylum, and perhaps dr Strange. Keep things slow and perhaps only in the third movie make him escape, perhaps he has learned a lot from other criminals and this could be used further as a societal error shone light upon, the system makes them worse. I don't think the pandering will end generally, this is just companies trying to reach out to larger markets, obviously Disney has wanted to make SW into something big in China but so far they have failed. There's of course this thing about trying too hard, people can call out the bluff so speak. But also in general, I don't mind if things are shook up a bit, they already for instance got rid of some of Bond's bad habits and what he does in one movie is basically a rape by today's definition, that shit needs to change. Otherwise it seems everyone wants to be pandered to which to me is odd as i was told in various ways as a kid that one should try to live in other people's shoes. I had a toy Yoda, it wasn't because he was like me, I didn't speak like he did and certainly didn't look like him, I liked him because he had some form of heart and was...different.

It did feel like a hugely overly long SNL sketch or sequence of sketches. A sketch doesn’t have character development. Or care that the actors roles reverse or change between sketches, as they share the chance to be the “funny one”. The original didn’t work because there were 3 Peter Venkman’s on the screen, taking turns. It worked because we had 3 well defined personalities that the comedy leaned into.

Isn't that suggesting that the only interesting characters in your eyes ARE straight white men because you're resorting to copycatting them, therefore saying that you cannot think up an original character to fit your mold?

Just to pile on here: the original movie wasn't about a group of literal, actual comedians hunting ghosts. The humor came naturally from a combination of good actors with good script. Like most of these timeless movies, they found a middle ground where they took themselves seriously enough for the plot to matter. But not seriously enough where it lost the humor. The new movie does none of those things. It doesn't care about the plot or the characters. It's just a group of comedians falling on their asses, as they try to save the world from a threat that isn't serious, because the characters don't take anything seriously.

Chris Hemsworth is the only funny thing about the movie. So I'd say to those who are proud to have not seen the film, give it a go. But only expect actual comedy from Thor, and enjoy the lightshow at the end. It's not great, but it's better than the trailer had shown

An excellent example of impactful silence is in the first Star Wars (A New Hope since the whole numbering thing is jank). Luke stares out at the twin suns setting and you see this range of emotions cross his face while the Jedi theme plays behind him for the first time. He's yearning to go, to explore the wider world and galaxy, but he's trapped in a nowhere farm. Ultimately, you see his face drop in resignation as he heads back in. The score is also incredible, especially as the same theme is played in the final act as Vader kills the emperor to save Luke. It's this circle through the films that just ties it all together. Anyways, most modern movies don't or can't do that. They need constant action and in your face impact, like the viewer will lose interest if you let the things slow down for a few moments.

In the new one, which I didn't see, the audience seems like they are supposed to buy that the women are geniuses and idiots at the same time. And Kate McKinnon or whatever is constantly trying to upstage everyone no matter the scene. Even if she isn't speaking, she's trying to draw your attention w movement or facial expressions.

A Male cast might have made the same bad jokes and the same stupid cinematography but it could never have had the Anti male bias in it that was evidenced from almost the opening shot. Also, if you thought the movie was "pretty good" your bar for entertainment must be pretty low. Not trying to criticize you but it's kind of understandable.

I wonder if part of that might have to do with more discomfort around nuclear power in the culture in general. There have been a number of high-profile incidents around nuclear power in the years since the original Ghostbusters (Chernobyl comes to mind, in 1986) that may have made it harder to stomach the casual use of it in films. Note that Spiderman in all the live action films no longer gets his powers from a radioactive spider, but a genetically-modified one, and how the Indiana Jones 4 fridge scene was so poorly received. So they substitute a techno-babble explanation. Let's see how Afterlife explains the proton packs, because somehow I doubt they're going to let kids use them onscreen if they are associated with nuclear energy.

You know proton beams are made of plasma, not liquid. If plasma can do that the same way, then flamethrowers should've been banned in the first place due to accidental firing.

The "No smoking" sign in the elevator adds also geniusly to the scene. It contrasts the concern about the little health risk of a single cigarette with the possible explosion of a nuclear power back in their equipment.
@FraserChapmanРік тому
100% this - almost the main "gag" of the scene...Compare this with the vast amounts of signage and graffiti and visual chaff in the alleyway in the remake - which serves no real purpose at all.

Yeah the original bit had me laugh/chuckle about four times in that many seconds, that's a bit of a laugh every few seconds. The remake scenes have me cringe at about the same ratio. It's just a lot of needless talking, bright colors, making faces, and some slapstick. Was it meant for toddlers?

A lot of the jokes in this film goes for this rule: "If it's not funny, say it louder until it's funny". Does it work? No, but it's significantly more irritating.
@DaveKatague2 роки тому
Lol saying it louder is one of the core tenets taught at the Amy Schumer / Melissa McCarthy school of not funny acting. Also taught in the curriculum is shit timing, joke theft / cryptomnesia, and repeating an already unfunny joke until the audience pity laughs to silence.

@@rawx485 I tried to watch 10 minutes of Amy Schumer to see if there was a reason she keeps getting specials on Netflix. I sat through the entire thing without even o ce smiling. Nothing she said was funny, fart jokes, looking at the audience with a "you're supposed to laugh now face" and weird tonality that goes through the paces but the punchlines were just so weak and average it just sounded like speaking. She's probably a lovely person but dang she's not funny at all.

Absolutely! If it was redone today, we would have a major close up of the no smoking sign and then pan across to the guys. But this scene was such a subtle and overlooked moment especially with the sign. I love how others notice these small details too.

Looking at it now, It's not the proudest entry in the ghostbusters series.
