It seems like everything these days has been "updated for a modern audience." But what exactly does it mean? Who is this "modern audience" that Hollywood is so desperate to cater to? Join me as I do my best to solve this perplexing mystery.

When I read that description, every word filled me with dread. Are they going to have everyone act like they're in high school too? Now that I'm older I recognise that the original Disney film sanitized a lot of stuff and basically made Hercules a lot like Superman. But I still don't mind, because it was a great film. It was funny, with great action and characterization. It even had a message of 'A hero is defined by their heart, rather than their actions.'

I think he means accurate to the German fable. I don't agree totally with that either. Just make a good film. Change it do whatever, just make it good and it's fine. But it seems clear there's no creativity going on. Like if Snow White was black and the movie was good then we wouldn't care. It's just when people start saying this movie is about diversity instead of saying this movie is good, then it's probably not gonna be good. Actually they lost an opportunity to do Snow Black. Directed by Spike Lee. That would be fun at least. Set in 80's Baltimore. "Mirror mirror on the wall who's the flyest of them all". The huntsman is Denzel. The Dwarves are a neighborhood basketball team. The Queen is that crazy super mayor. And the Prince is Prince Harry.@@jenniek8391

As someone who was a part of the “modern audience” as a teen, a lot of it is emotional immaturity and the almost cultish approach to “woke” culture. Being told by the internet that if you don’t hit the diverse cast checkboxes, or write minorities with flaws, or include any amount of offensive humor, you’re a shit writer, really got into my head as an emotionally immature teen and caused a lot of unwarranted guilt. My dad showing me The Drinker kickstarted my escape from that mindset, and I’m looking forward to becoming a good writer instead of a “woke” one lol

There are movies where the woman vs man fight is depicted in a way that women could win in real life too by using their agility and wits even without being bodybuilders, not every filmmaker has a competent enough crew to train actors to perform that though... That's why we see tiny girls pushing back much stronger men in a way that makes zero sense, it's not that women cannot win against much stronger men but that many filmmakers are incompetent enough to even see how silly their movies often look from point of anyone with close combat experience who got reasonable ideas about what can and what cannot be done against a much stronger opponent. The idea of putting a woman on an equal plane in movies is not bad in itself as old stories often depict the woman as inferior weak-minded beings by default from times when they were trading articles for property or even valuable animals, just the implementation is often silly, thus looking like a forced social engineering project where a woman is portraited in a way where it competes with a man physically in a manner that did not correspond with reality. Don't forget that even princess stories in decades-old movies were often already modified to be consumable by an audience of that time, we just remember the good examples that were not done by incompetent people, while today we see all that junk production despite the ratio between good and bad movies in AAA titles may not be significantly different, there is just far more of them per year around the world. Bad movies in old days had a far lower chance to lure audiences anyway as new production with good special effects and promotion campaign available these days make it possible for mediocre movies to be somewhat profitable today, so the main anger with new junk production is mainly in the fact that they still managing to make a lot of money despite even though they may deserve none, thus creating an incentive for more bad movies to be created. The fear of the success of low-quality products setting new standards we are unwilling to support is why people concerned with the quality of products watch reviews and actively fight against their proliferation in the first place. We just often want to see intention where is just sheer incompetence, there always were resorurce restrictions whatever in time or money, if anything, todays movies got budgets few decades ago could only dream about.

Agree totally, but just to clarify one point about Snow White. In the original story from the Brothers Grimm, Schneewittchen, Snow White was not awakened by a kiss from the man. She woke when a man fell in love with her corpse, carried away her coffin and dropped it by accident, dislodging the poison apple piece stuck in her throat which had "killed" her. Like most Grimm stories, Disney presumably found that too dark so updated it (for modern audiences in 1937) 😆

As a kid in the 70's, growing up in sunny Southern California, I was a big fan of Japanese action and animation tv programs. These certainly didn't "reflect the world I lived in," I liked them because they didn't reflect the world I lived in. All the characters were Japanese, all followed Japanese norms, all the scenes were Japan-centric, all were as foreign to me as aliens from Mars, but I loved these shows. Fast-forward many years, and I find myself living in Japan, and finding Japanese people who are rabid fans of old American westerns. The most popular movie ever screened in Japan was "One-eyed Jacks," a Marlon Brando western. No Japanese could relate to any part of that entire movie, yet that was why they loved it so much.

The reason why Top Gun: Maverick was such a success was because they didn't pull any of this modern audience BS and just delivered a great action packed movie with an easy to follow plot. If it were to release back in the 80's or 90's it would have still been well received but not nearly to the degree it was now and that is because of how desperate people were for a movie that just wanted to entertain the audiences and not preach to them about "THE MESSAGE".

The whole reason you want diversity is so you can pull in a wider audience. People ARE more likely to like your show if they relate to at least one of the characters, but people don't just relate to characters based on the race or gender of the actors playing them. It's way more important to have a cast of characters with diverse personalities. Plus, then you get to see them play off each other and that's how we get all our iconic duos, trios, and teams with all their cool and interesting dynamics.

If a character is just a soulless and hollow entity only for self inserts then why is that even considered a character?? Instead of it being a discussion of character, it’s just people talking about how their egos are better…

​@@Nizhyii A relatable character isn't a self insert. If a character shares traits with your intended audience, that audience will like them more and care more about what happens to them. People empathize more with people who they have a lot in common with. It's not a good thing (it's believed to be the root cause of all racism) but it is the way humans think, and that's something we can take advantage of in our writing. The problem with self inserts is that they often *aren't* relatable: the author assumes the reader will just assume the character shares the reader's interests so they often forget to write a believable character with interests, flaws, and a personality. People have identities, so they won't think of someone with no personality as being like them at all.

My favorite part is that the update to the dwarves in Snow white is barely an update. They were already hardworking miners and craftsmen who sold valuable jewels in order to survive in their idyllic cabin in the middle of the woods who then agree to take in a kind stranger down on her luck because she agrees to cook and clean their home while they're out working. They then basically accept her into their family and when she gets cursed, they both help destroy the person who cursed her and preserved her body until the day when someone could break the curse. The dwarves weren't comedy relief. They were the fucking heroes of the story

I’ll follow up on that. “Modern audiences” seem to be allergic to appropriate arrangements and quid pro quos. Cooking and cleaning in exchange for safety, food, and being treated as part of the family is a perfectly good and healthy system. They just gotta have abuse or sex involved somehow. Probably means they think they were abused as children for being forced to clean their rooms.

Interestingly, LotR also presents a female character who actively acts against the trope, both in the book and in the movies in the form of Eowyn, and the movies also give Arwen a moment of absolute badassery (originally performed by basically the Batman of the Elves, no less). And this isn't unique for Tolkien lore. I mean, freaking Luthien. Just. Freaking. Luthien. And a number of other (predominantly Elven) very badass ladies.

The fact that people choose to treat the snow white story as waiting for a prince to come and not extraordinary kindness get repaid at the end is a big problem we have in the world today. They literally look at the end result of a prince saving her life and forget the journey that took her there. Her kindness is what made the person who supposed to kill her spare her life. Her kindness is what made the 7 dwarves stick with her, help her when she is harmed. They also don't ignore the fact that your kindness can be abused as they show her get harmed for it but eventually she is still saved. The only problem that may need updated is the prince being her true love right away as the prince in the story is more of a device that serve the purpose of goodness will come to people who treat others kindly rather than a character.

Exactly. Snow White was not only kind, but patient, brave, hard working, long suffering, and overall very inspiring. She didn’t let her fears overtake her and cause her to falter, she simply pushed through it. She was eventually rewarded with her own personal dream, which happened to be marrying her true love and living happily. She was a girl raised without the love of a mother, and barely knew the love of her father, and now she gets to have a wonderful family that she can raise herself. The only issue with snow whites character is her age, as she was only 14 and her prince was 30, which is highly inappropriate. But that did not factor into the original cartoon, it was simply the trappings of traditions kept centuries and centuries before, when many women died too young to wait to marry in their 30’s.

I was watching The Nightmare Before Christmas with my kids the other day, and I realized, intentional or not, it's an excellent allegory for how modern adaptations are made. Someone reads a book, and is fascinated by it, and decides they want to make it their own. "I want it, oh I want it!" Then they insert their own ideas, preferences, and biased messaging until it only relates to the original on an extremely surface level, and the people partaking in it are left disappointed, and the piece of media is a disaster. In the end it will become abundantly clear that Christmas was better left in the hands of Santa.

You touched on something that I think is vital in these times. Genuine respect for differing perspectives. I remember when that was the definition of being an American....free speech and expression was the defining feature. We can have dramatically differing opinions but will defend your right to have them. There was a time when the ACLU defended actual NAZIS right to march in the streets of Skokie Illinois and it was held up as an ideal for Americans. That is the America I miss. One that felt confident enough to allow for different points of view to use the public space equally. Now we are all cultural cowards that need constant protection from using our own minds. We have outsourced our thinking and have become sheepish robots.

Historically, Bond did change once. On Her Majesty's Secret Service. He got married, and Blofeld killed his new wife. The movie basically ended with Bond crying over her body. It was remarkably sad in tone compared to the norm. The next movie opened with Bond going on an unmitigated killing spree of bloodthirsty revenge. It reminded me a lot of The Godfather, when Michael's first wife in Sicaly got carbombed. A really sobering moment. If I recall, it's one of the reasons Bond stopped letting himself get attached to people, at least for a while. I seem to recall this was also the movie where an actor played Bond only for one movie, and then didn't keep the role because they thought he was unusually dramatic as Bond. But I doubt anyone making these new movies have watched enough of the old stuff or read the books to know any of this.

Sorry to bother, but did you read the books yourself? Cause if you did, you would be rather more humble and accurate when criticizing creators of modern Bond movies - as they finally did get 007 right as Fleming wanted him to be: empty-hearted, cold-minded killing machine in HM’s hands, a shipwreck of a person, the one fills his hollowness and grief with substances, but yet not a plain drunk. (And he was never actually attached to anyone, not just for some time). It was Connery and Moore - especially Moore - who got 007 wrong; easy-going, elegant, ever smiling English comedian is almost the exact opposite of Fleming’s original character. The hardest irony there is that it were Connery’s 007 who was adopted to ‘modern audience’ of that time - and the script differed much from the original books (sometimes almost completely, like in ‘you only live twice’). But you seem to have nothing against the ‘modern audience’, it seems, unless you’re not in it. Also the real reason that Lazenby left is because of his disdain with film crew and because his agent convinced him that 007 will become obsolete and forgotten quite soon. What they both did not consider that there are millions who will consume the same story over and over again - including the sorry author of this video. He himself is the part of ‘modern audience’, albeit of the 80s, and just has a problem with ‘modern audiences’ of these days. The most ironic of all is that he regards the art the very same way SJWs and Hollywood producers do - as a mere product - and when he’s not targeted, he plays the crybaby the same way SJWs do (which is, coincidentally, the content of this video) The only thing he got right is there are no ‘modern audiences’ - there are different stories without any audience targeted beforehand (so you either listen or stop whining about the story not being appropriate for you) And James Bond’s story is one of them and was in fact drastically different from Connery era movies. And Barbara Broccoli’s response is right if you look at it from another perspective: there is a whole load of action movie franchises like Bourne and more a more are spawn, how do you compete with them on their own field? You don’t. You have to come up with another story and another character. Luckily, there is a reliable source.

No, that's fine. I seem to recall having read two of the books but it's been decades. Since it's been two months since I replied to this video (I really don't want to watch it again), my recollection was simply that everyone seems to have their own impression of "Bond", and it's apparently quite easy to consume enough of it to either forget or omit the rest and still treat yourself as an authority. This doesn't actually bother me that much with a case like this, since there is so much material out there that I think it's understandable, but it felt like an important detail from earlier movies was being ignored. I'll take your word that the author never let him get attached to someone, as it doesn't change that it occurs in the movie.

If you want this trend to stop, remember that the opposite of 'love' isn't hate, it's indifference. Don't watch these films. Don't discuss or review these films. Don't go with others to see these films. Simply pretend that they do not exist and, if someone wants you to go see it with them, tell them you're not interested and leave it at that. If enough people do this, they will be compelled to stop but even if that isn't for a while, you can still hold it as a quiet, personal virtue that you have done your part in at least not contributing to the vandalizing of European culture and history.

THIS. I'd love if people just stopped giving this crap the attention. In a lot of cases, I don't even know if they "update" franchises to appeal to their idea of a modern audience or even themselves. They do it because they know it'll create controversy within the fanbase and controversy creates attention. Attention they otherwise wouldn't have because they lack the talent and imagination to create anything compelling. But get people angry? Yeah, that's a good way to get them talking about something.

Most, if not all, of the 'updated for modern audiences' things pretty much have proven to have zero staying power--so I really don't think we need to tell people to be indifferent past "Don't waste your money or time." But Western mass media's current management isn't going to grasp what they're doing wrong and why audiences are bouncing on them if they don't get told. They're just not really diverse, because on the inside they're all the same person...and that person is a high-SES from birth (culturally) White dude...who is outright baffled by the whole "Other people are other people" thing that most people figure out in preschool. That's probably the 'modern audiences' that they're talking about, and the surprising thing is that it isn't even tinier.

The way they sum up Snow White's character as "Someday, my prince will come" tells me all I need to know. For real, Snow White was a small slip of a girl about to be assassinated in the woods. Wtf do they expect her to do? Do a backflip and break the bad guy's neck? No. She ran away, survived a cold, dark night in the forest, worked her *ss off to repay the dwarf's kindness (even though she's a princess), and didn't whine like a spoiled brat when nothing went her way. Classic Snow White was a good, brave girl. "Someday, My Prince" is just a freaking I Want song that's part of the freaking princess movie formula. It doesn't mean that a prince is the only thing Snow White will ever want in her life. It's just that at that moment during the movie, she simply wants to see her crush/admirer again.

It depends how the song is interpreted. It seems like a "I want song" if you listen without context! But in the movie, Snow White has already met her prince and fallen in love with him, so she is asking not for "any random prince to be saved by him", but she's rather expressing her desire to find her one, true love again and be able to marry him at last. And honestly, in a time without phones, without SMS or any other chat possibilties, it's indeed not likely that the prince will likely find her easily. Yes, it's a passive part for the girl, but staying safe at the dwarves offers for her a better chance to survive than running around and searching for the prince (when she doesn't know where he is or where he is from), and so she decides to dream and hope instead, and what's wrong about that? (By the way, in the originak fairy tale, the prince hasn't met before Snow White and wants to have the beautiful girl in the coffin, and then they're marrying without any plot between, and would this the better solution??? (In most of Snow White movie adaptions, Snow White has already met the prince in the beginning or at least at the castle or it would be a scary fantasy or a parody...)-

Snow White: An unusually pale woman so kind-hearted and caring that wild animals and a band of rugged dwarves do their darndest to act polite to her. So sweet and innocent that the only person who could ever hate her is a wicked jealous queen who would poison her with a false gift. So charming and lovable that when she fell, it moved a most attractive young prince to even kiss her deceased lips, bringing her back to the joy and adoration of all. What some of these "writers" don't seem to understand is that a woman doesn't need to be just like the "the boys" in all their badassery to be an endearing character that people watch over 80 years later. She can be compassionate. What greater human strength is there than the strength of all those who will rally to you?

That's probably what modern movie-makers precisely cannot compute.

Me and my fiancée are doing exactly the same thing! There are so many good films and series from the past, we don't even miss the modern cinema.

Same. I prefer to rewatch movies from the 70’s to the early 2010’s before 2015 happened. At least back then, movies went out of their way to entertain you and not preach to you. Even though there have been some hidden celluloid gems since 2015, they get lost amidst the endless MCU series/movies and modern remakes that end up flopping.

Listening to you gives me hope for humanity's future, but alas just for as long I watch yours and similar channels. Trying to watch new films and series takes me right back into fucked up reality of things. :( Cheers, mate!

Watch Goodfellas or Pulp Fiction with a nephew who has never seen it, and their minds will be blown. Movies were good, and dangerous.

Please define "the past" when it comes to movies. For me when I was growing up, the "past" years were the 1920s, '30s, '40s, '50s, and '60s. Now, of course, the '70s and the '80s have joined them in my imagination.

They put too much political correctness and western value in the movie, which are not welcomed in other countries. Western value is not universal value. Universal value is peace, happiness and sparks of human decency….
