Hey, its me and heres the thing: Movies which are now being remade as liveaction seem like a desperate attempt for money, honestly as probaly many have seen theres been a large amount of public outcry for those movies not to be made. If you look Lion King live action trailer it wont give you the sense of nostalgia, it just feels bad. Id rather watch them make Lion King in 4K redrawn, reanimated and with more colours rather than in live action (ofc live action can never replicate the same motions as the animated version does, same goes for sonic). Games for example well honestly i cant be very mad with the developing companies, they usually just make old games look better aka just enchacing the graphics nothing much. To be honest we should rather just learn from history than try to remake it. Nothing will be the same. New can be good aswell.
You also have to consider the CGI industry is gigantic right now - there are droves of young people graduating as we speak with intention of getting into a field where they can use those skills - you need to continue to have a market for them - these Disney movies will put bread on the table.
For me, nostalgia usually comes in a package with melancholy and depression. It is inseparable in my case. Never heard it described so positively in my life.
There's two academic ideas about nostalgia. Restorative nostalgia and reflective nostalgia. In the reflective model, nostalgia is about lingering on ruins. I think that fits into your idea. Check out Leetch's paper that I link to in the description.... I had written a little section on this, but it went a bit too off course...
@@LouisFoglia Thanks, gonna check that out in more detail. It got through that there is negative nostalgia, but it was very brief so it feels like nostalgia is supposed to be good in 95% of cases and bad in only 5. But still it was a very good report on the subject, thought provoking and interesting. Long text alert: I feel like even when a person is nostalgic about a movie in a positive way let's say, most people realize that that time is gone and never can be relived, and the film is a weak attempt to relive said times. Over time people often forget about the negative events of the past and they remember the positive things only, romantasizing the past even further. Comparing it to the present then is even more frustrating or even depressing. I don't know many people who would go hippedy hoppedy I'm so happy, the past was so good, the new lion king just made me remember, lets rebuilt that time, I'm gonna vote for someone who brings back past values and I'm gonna live and behave like in the old days. It is tricky to trigger positive, or as you said restorative nostalgia I think. Harder than negative, certainly.
I feel so estranged from this world sometimes. This is one of those things: I don't watch reboots. They're boring. I love original ideas, creative experiments, unexpected twists. It's supposed to be an art form but all the art has been sucked out of it. I think the Swiss had it right, nostalgia is a bit of a sickness.
Lou I think a kick ass video idea would be to do an ep on how you make your videos (the script mainly). How you find your evidence seems like something that would be really revalatory. Also how you manage to make a script ~a week.
I've been watching a few movies from my dvd collection recently and the quality of film making was definitely superior a decade ago in the areas of writing and direction IMO.
I was just about to find some Kim photos for comparison. Even haircuts can be retro AND fashion at the same time (just in different Continents) 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👍👍👍👍👍👍
It's not always bad indeed. I think the Lion King or Marvel movie 274 are not that great in terms of nostalgia. Remakes and sequels suck. But using elements from past times can work. I think Pokemon Go was a brilliant idea for example, it uses nostalgic elements but was a completely unique experience (it's a shame they developed it so poorly though).
While I do prefer original films, I can understand why many people gravitate towards franchises and series. I go about describing franchises/series as being SPRR’s; Sequels to the Prequel to the Remake of the Reboot (think films like X-Men: First Class or Spider-Man: Far From Home)
Movies are expensive to make and people are lazy & cautious. Rarely is there a super expensive film like Titanic that starts out badly and ends up being very successful.
Arghya Sen, Wisecrack did another, saying that there are three types of Remakes. I think they classified The Thing an Honoring Remake, while Disney’s are True Remakes.
Hey, it's WikiPeoples, and here's the thing: People literally have children, because of nostalgia. Think about it - why do people WANT kids? It's because deep down, they want to re-live their childhood. Think about it.
"making a movie is the most expensive entertainment project in the history of the world" I think what the romans were doing was probably more resource-intensive
Leitch's quote has got to be bullshit, can you imagine the cost of the Colosseum/Circus Maximus, even spread out over it's intended lifespan? Or the Olympics, or World Cup?
Sequels are not a new thing, just check out some of Shakespeare's plays: Henry IV, Part I , Henry IV, Part II Henry V Henry VI, Part I , Henry VI, Part II, Henry VI, Part III Henry VIII Richard II Richard III Many of his other plays like Romeo and Juliet were also very similar to earlier known plays, kind of like Disney's versions of classic fairy tales.
I'm gonna play a game where I predict the video before watching it, and reduce it to a sentence that shrinks a 10 minute video into 5 seconds of reading. What's behind the movie remakes? People watch them more than original movies and studios value money over art so they keep making them. Let's see if I'm right...
Well think about it from an investor's perspective, would you put your money into something that is unproven? Something that, if it fails, you've lost all your money? Or, would you invest into something that is proven to make money, and would almost guarantee a return on your investment? My guess is you chose the latter. And that is why there are so many sequels, remakes, and others.
@@johnpossum556 If it's any consolation, a lot of people these days, myself included, complain about the inverse; video games acting like and cribbing too much from movies.
@@EbonySaints ha! I know you mean well but since I don't game it means nada to me. What really bothered me about the movie scene is that Netflix changed the way they scored how well liked a movie is. Now they tell you what they think I might think of it. Before they told me what others thought of it. This was how I found good movies. I've just given up. I haven't had netflix in at least 5 years now but I was one of their first wave of subscribers.
Pro Tip: don't watch the original movies and you won't get nostalgic for the sequels and remakes. My life has been just fine without ever seeing The Lion King or any of these superhero films.
Yea, nostalgia drives box office sales, but why do all of these remakes have to be made so poorly. Even from an objective standpoint, they are poorly made movies.
Why is in this decade ? why not in 2000 90s 80s 70s why nostalgia old senile - sentimentality of old good years rises now, Why member beries grows now. Mad max movie is terrible (music video movie) movie compare to original and who voted who new movie ? I wait new added mustaches to Mona Lisa ?
can someone please finance Lou a Vox budget. These videos are so insightful
Someone like CNN maybe
No. He's doing great work on here already.

Man, i know you aren't that big of a channel, but bro, what a good video is this. Good quality and good content! Nice work!

Y'all need more subs great content
this is fifth video about remakes that came out recently
Great video, Lou; only mentioned politics 2.3 times.
Love the Lebowski headpiece on the desk. The Dude Abides.
Damn Lou went NOSTALGIA: ULTRA 🌊
Lou I think a kick ass video idea would be to do an ep on how you make your videos (the script mainly). How you find your evidence seems like something that would be really revalatory. Also how you manage to make a script ~a week.
I didn't think of this idea but I want to know the answer too :)
Lou you're so informing and likable!
I've been watching a few movies from my dvd collection recently and the quality of film making was definitely superior a decade ago in the areas of writing and direction IMO.
ur haircut makes you look like Kim Jong-un
Kim Jong Un's haircut makes him look like Lou. Don't do my boy like this. 😡😡😡
Lol!
I was just about to find some Kim photos for comparison. Even haircuts can be retro AND fashion at the same time (just in different Continents) 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👍👍👍👍👍👍
I legit thought that was a pic of childhood Lou for a sec
@3:22 I thought League of Legends "This or that" started somehow in the background lol
Lou with the making sense of all the things again!
Thanks man. Probably the best youtube vid i`ve seen in a long time.
I love and appreciate you both so much!
It's time for MORE BEME!
Did you lose weight lou? Looking good!
Maybe a haircut? It's a new Lou.
It's not always bad indeed. I think the Lion King or Marvel movie 274 are not that great in terms of nostalgia. Remakes and sequels suck. But using elements from past times can work. I think Pokemon Go was a brilliant idea for example, it uses nostalgic elements but was a completely unique experience (it's a shame they developed it so poorly though).
I love these videos! But i have to ask... how are they profitable? It seems every video has less and less views.
While I do prefer original films, I can understand why many people gravitate towards franchises and series. I go about describing franchises/series as being SPRR’s; Sequels to the Prequel to the Remake of the Reboot (think films like X-Men: First Class or Spider-Man: Far From Home)
6:10 Clay Routledge looks like he’d yell at a guy about what Tony Stark could do in a cave with a box of scraps.
Movies are expensive to make and people are lazy & cautious. Rarely is there a super expensive film like Titanic that starts out badly and ends up being very successful.
This is thanks to capitalism
Thanks Lou. Nice haircut!
Have you updated the camera?
Your voice sounds really similar to David Cross (Tobias on Arrested Development)
The reason people go to see these movies is that these are the only movies they're given. If Disney made new IP's people would go to see them, too.
Nice haircut, Lou, lookin' sharp.
Good video dude
This is very insightful
Hollywood has run out of ideas
No they haven't, they are just scared of trying new things and failing
I hate remakes so much
Love that Dude plaster head.
Does it appeal to anyone that the thumbnail is a direct answer to the question asked in the title? Or is it just me?
Wow, i mention Beme in one comment and i get this in my recommendations
Nostalgia brought back that sexy beard :D
To echo the sentiment from the end of the video, why over analyse something? Just enjoy something because you enjoy it, nothing really matters anyway.
So fear, laziness, and greed? Sounds just like what's happened to every other facet of society. Welcome to late stage capitalism
John Carpenter's The Thing is a remake. Its much better than the original.
Arghya Sen, Wisecrack did another, saying that there are three types of Remakes.
I think they classified The Thing an Honoring Remake, while Disney’s are True Remakes.
Me during the watching of this video....wow....wow....shakes head....wow....holy crap I did that...wow
I've never paid to watch any remakes. Is this a problem?
Yes. A Disney representative will contact you soon for re-education. Stand by.
Hey, it's WikiPeoples, and here's the thing: People literally have children, because of nostalgia. Think about it - why do people WANT kids? It's because deep down, they want to re-live their childhood. Think about it.
People have children because they were too drunk to use protection.
On point
Member Lion king.. Ohh I member.
Damn you're good!
"making a movie is the most expensive entertainment project in the history of the world"

money
COME BACK!!! Or I'll have to do it myself ✊
I literally just did a video on this, feels like our culture has been on repeat
Leitch's quote has got to be bullshit, can you imagine the cost of the Colosseum/Circus Maximus, even spread out over it's intended lifespan? Or the Olympics, or World Cup?
even video games
Great ending
This or That Song!!!!! (League)
Sequels are not a new thing, just check out some of Shakespeare's plays:
Henry IV, Part I
, Henry IV, Part II
Henry V
Henry VI, Part I
, Henry VI, Part II, Henry VI, Part III
Henry VIII
Richard II
Richard III
Many of his other plays like Romeo and Juliet were also very similar to earlier known plays, kind of like Disney's versions of classic fairy tales.
So it comes down to laziness, risk adversity, money and lack of imagination . Got it
bread and circus

What's behind the movie remakes? People watch them more than original movies and studios value money over art so they keep making them.
Let's see if I'm right...
You can only make so many movies. So now you just remake the originals. Been saying the for years. Bet ya they'll start making video game movies
That's some Oracle level prediction and logic. Nice
It's Lou 2 😂
Well think about it from an investor's perspective, would you put your money into something that is unproven? Something that, if it fails, you've lost all your money? Or, would you invest into something that is proven to make money, and would almost guarantee a return on your investment?
My guess is you chose the latter. And that is why there are so many sequels, remakes, and others.
You can't think about art from an investors POV though. At least you shouldn't.
-Money
I’d say Jumunji is the only (soft) reboot better than the original...
Not even close...
It's different, but not better. But beauty is in the eye of the beholder, so you are entitled to prefer it.
Is there anything original in Hollywood?
Honestly it's such a Shane that you don't get more views
Re-do Culture.
I watch Beme news out of nostalgia of @caseyneistat and the app :'( Great work keeping the name alive Lou!
Money.
End of the video.
Video games are getting dumber and movies are getting borring
I guess it's easier to not be a geek this days
My pet peeve is movies that play like video games. I hate those the most.

thats why i watch more films from korea and japan now...
The world has never been original.
your comment is not original either
@@halimceria
Just proves my point.
That's a lazy excuse for not trying
@@MechanicWolf85
Trying even makes things less original.

Dude, you are a rock star! I hope CNN starts using you more.
Yea, nostalgia drives box office sales, but why do all of these remakes have to be made so poorly. Even from an objective standpoint, they are poorly made movies.
Because it's production, not creative endeavor. It's need to made relatively fast and cheap.
Cihxeth
"told me" aka I read a report/research peice/article that they wrote... no one told you!!! lol
If i say "told me" I interviewed them.
Why is in this decade ? why not in 2000 90s 80s 70s why nostalgia old senile - sentimentality of old good years rises now, Why member beries grows now. Mad max movie is terrible (music video movie) movie compare to original and who voted who new movie ? I wait new added mustaches to Mona Lisa ?
