When there's nothing left

What would you create as a new genre of film? When all the ideas for what we have now have been tired out, not that most haven't already.

What an interesting idea for a thread...

2nd person movies, where you go through the plot having everything explained to you, like a recipe book.

Actually, that sounds like it would be awful. But different.

Isn't that just like narrration?

Not eactly. narration can also be 3rd person, but 2nd person is instructional, like a recipe or a diagram for setting up a home entertainment system. I think some people have tried this kind of thing in the past, and it would just end up being annoying.

You mean like the Five obstructions, with Lars Von Trier?

I thought it might be a nice idea to have a film from one of the other characters' points of view - so rather than the whole film focusing on the protagonist/hero, it's the story of how the surrounding characters see what's going on. It would be hard to write, though.

I've thought alot about this with music but not so much with movies.I don't think we'll see anything original in our lifetime.

i have had an idea bouncing around in my head for years about a movie about 2 characters on opposite sides of a conflict. tehre are two version, each one centering around a single character, and the movies run in line together, same timeline, and overlapping events, but shot from the other's perspective.

Imagine how cool it would be to see trailers for a movie, people go to seperate theaters to see it, and different theaters play a different "side" of the movie, so you techically watched the same movie as the guy across town, but he saw the other side of it.

if it didnyt piss off too many people, it would make a buttload of money. because peopel would be watching it twice, at least.
