Writer-director Richard Curtis has reduced film audiences to tears for a generation, but this weekend when I left a screening of his new Beatles fantasy Yesterday, I noticed something was wrong: Th…
. By contrast, the only current tear-generating movies are about canines, not humans . All this seems germane at a moment when movie gurus proclaim the death of that both drama and romantic comedy as theatrical genres. Indeed, the entire filmgoing experience is at death’s door, if you believe what you read.'Toy Story 4' Holds Down No.
Here’s what they forget: Whenever we’ve hit bad patches in the past, a big hit emerges, even a new genre. Or an old one is reawakened. A flashback: At this moment 50 years ago, box office was crashing and filmgoers en masse were staying home to watch TV — until, that is, a new movie suddenly emerged to change their minds. It was not a movie about violent crime nor was it a gift from hippie heaven , but something even more unexpected: a classic tear-jerker that pulled in audiences by the millions and reduced audiences to a sea of sobs. And Curtis was still in nursery school in the UK.
At a moment when comic book heroes rule the box office, the idea of a tear-jerker becoming the No. 1 picture seems surreal. Yet over the years, films with strong emotional clout have periodically broken through —, the ultimate date movie. Still, the marketplace today seems oddly uninviting toward this genre. Sony’s Tom Rothman argues that, in a Netflix era, movies have to offer a strong “theatrical” component to reach the scatter-brained audience. He has a point, of course, but “theatrical” doesn’t have to translate to stunts and superheroes. It can also mean “emotion.”may yet beat the odds and become a prime example.
