Dogme 96

Dogma 95, at the time, may have been a good idea for producers. The main thesis for the movement, in my opinion, was to have a way for producers with not a lot of resources to make a mediocre movie and get it out into the mainstream. The cost of production would be cut drastically when not having to use props, extra sound effects, visual effects, lighting, or cameras. It would make everyone involved with the movie focus more on what is being filmed; actors and moviegoer's alike. Therefore, there would no longer be any movies out there like "Gigly." And not to mention there would be no sex scenes or killing in the movies so anyone could go and watch. The only time that would be used would be the here and now so we would be more focused on what is at hand.
In my opinion though, the idea is horrible. Most of us that go to the movies so we can see the killing, visual effects. We want to be scared so much that we pee in our pants. We want to be able to imagine what the future will be like even though we are not able to fly with cars yet. The visual effects are what make the whole movie. The better that they look, the more the sound effects blow us out of our chairs, the more we will want to go see the movie over again.
