My thought was: how pathetic. Opera has been reduced to "going 3-D" in movie theaters to try to get people to watch.
No amount of 3-D-ness is going to make up for the fact that I find the plot of most operas (rather like "Black Swan") to be overly melodramatic and the singing style contrived, stilted, and unappealing (with a few exceptions). |
I think another reason it had that effect on me is because I went into the movie thinking that the reason people loved it was because of some sort of twist at the end. I'm pretty much conditioned to try to solve and figure out twist endings because quite a lot of movies have been using that technique over the past decade or so.
3-D puts kiddies in the seats regardless of content or so they are hoping. lol
The whole 3-D thing that's going on with films wanted to be released in 3-D format is extremely greedy of the movie industry and they are going to start alienating the movie go-ers this way. They are trying to get as much money as they can with fewer ticket purchases.
