How Dark Grytty restarts opening the way to the clearest escape of today in the cinema

For years, Hollywood has worship his darkened and rooted restarts. But the times have changed and so they have tastes of the public. A recent Piramid video essay Superman.

After 11 September 2001, the American public gravitated towards stories that reflected their fears and uncertainties. The films embraced gritty realism and no franchise exemplified it better than Christopher Nolan’S Dark Knight trilogy.

“You can imagine how incredible it was to see it in 2005 for the first time that the audience saw a Batman who seemed to belong to our world and faced dangers that seemed almost too real.

“Needless to say, Batman Begins was a huge success for critics and the general public the dark and gritty tone of the film seemed a breath of fresh air.”

Subsequently, other franchises found themselves hard at the “realistic” approach, transforming the comic book worlds and action sagas into moody characters studies.

But it was 20 years ago and, as Pyramid Peak explains, that tone no longer resonates the same way:

“20 years after the restart does not enclose the same fist. So what happened to the dark and gritty era? At this moment we live in a world of constant noise, a million channels of contrasting information are all shouting simultaneously.

“That opening could inspire stories in which the hero is someone who cuts the chaos sees the wider picture and finds a clean focused solution a narrative in which all threats are secretly connected and a courageous person dying them giving us the simple clarity that craves.”

This shift is more than only stylistic. It is a reflection of our cultural mood. Then, the bad guys were symbolic. Today the problems seem personal and systemic. As peeled, future stories could even face the inequality of wealth frontally.

“If another global recession makes the inequality of wealth, the popular problem of the day, the real enemies could be the rich, the powerful the elite out of touch. We could see a rebirth of stories on the common person who rises against the greed and corruption not controlled and a generation that dealt with the housing crisis and infinite influence would have been in contact with the infinite inflation that would be connected with the inhabited crisis And the housing crisis would be done with the housing crisis and the infinite inflicted would connect with the infinite inflicted that would connect with the housing crisis “.

The era of the gritty anti -heroes could be behind us, replaced by characters who clarify in chaos or challenge front front corruption. In other words, the evasion is evolving and Hollywood will follow our cultural compass points later.
