So, this is one my crazy (?) ideas – there has been very limited globalization of movies. Many Hollywood movies are released dubbed in different languages. So people who don’t understand English can see the movie in a language they can understand. This means more people can enjoy the movie and movie makers have a bigger market.
But these movies still are based completely in a world that itself is alien to many people who are likely to watch it in other languages. The references, locations and lifestyle are all very different from what they know.
With the advance of the technology, would it be possible to globalize the movies to such an extent that the story, the characters, the actors and the situations remain the same but based on the locale and the location the implementations are different?
Are you speaking of remakes? Or Software changing the location, lifestyle and places of the movie with those known to the audience?
ReplyDeleteHey Beena - imagine meeting you here! :-) I am talking of software changes - like how we have globalized software products which picks location info from a resource file... Remakes don't give the same feel as the original movie...
ReplyDeleteThat's an idea there. Film making is creative process plus a technology driven creation too today so surely there could be possibilities of turning your idea to reality ;-) Hide it and think about it more...you don't want people stealing your ideas from your blog!
