Sci-fi films are as dead as westerns.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I think sci-fi films have become rather bleak, and understandably so - I think we've made some big mistakes globally with how we're developing, and we deal with that guilt by creating these very dystopian futures in films.
We see death constantly on film.
The 'Western' is the only genre whose origins are almost identical with those of the cinema itself.
Western films don't do very well in India.
As a matter of fact, I find the Western cinema very fantastic.
When someone talks about Western films, you probably think of those old black and white cowboy films your granddad likes. But the Western is a wonderful genre because it is usually a story of a lone hero fighting against corruption in a dangerous world.
I think that the Western went away for a while because part of its function was that it used to be America's action film.
It's ironic: In movies, the most successful films of all time have been sci-fi or fantasy. By far. But a lot of people won't even read science fiction books.
Indie film isn't dead, it just grew up.
Everyone keeps saying the western's dead, but it's not.
