Netflix and Streaming: How Television is Changing | |
Interesting read! Imagining a monopoly war in the film industry especially by Disney is fascinating. Like you said, I think to call it a monopoly is hard to call, even with all the movies that Disney produces. It’s interesting that a lot of films I didn’t expect like The Avengers is actually produced by Disney. Anyway, I don’t know if it will ever be an issue for other film producers if Disney continues to produce lots of films, because at the end of the day it’s about the quality of the film, and as long as they have enough money to make their films as well it should be fine. | Mouse-opoly: Is Disney Dominating the Entertainment Industry? |
I absolutely loved this movie and will always be a re-watch for me. Even though the film’s notion of supporting plastic surgery doesn’t seem like a positive message, especially with the main character becoming very pretty and only able to win the man’s heart this way, I think the theme of identity in the film is even more important. When the main character wasn’t happy with who she had become after changing her outward appearance and sang the song of her first audition with the video playing in the background, that moment really made me love the film and made it a favourite for me. | 200 Pounds Beauty: South Korea's Plastic Surgery Industry |
Awesome topic to talk about. I definitely think that TV is dying out, because laptops are replacing the need for TV’s. I think its more than just a lack of time that people are turning to Netflix, there’s the ease of access mentioned in the article, and also being able to binge watch is definitely another plus to having Netflix, along with the diversity of films and TV shows available to choose from would be other factors as to why the TV is dying out and Netflix is becoming increasingly popular.
