Movies try to be as realistic as possible. Well, some do. Anyways, they ones that try often try with great dialog, a good reasonable story, scenes that don't seem to be to ridiculous, and solid identifiable characters. However, sometimes theses movies are often flooded with product placement. Making you wonder at the end if you have watched a movie, or if you just watched a 90min commercial.
I started to think about this the other day about realistic movies and product placement and it let to a bit of a conundrum. You see our world its self is commercialized to the tee. You can't go a single day or even a single second without seeing an ad for something. Even as I type this I am seeing a ad for "vimeo Pro. yet if you want to make a good movie and if you care about your work, you don't want to lose the movies soul by shoving pepsi ads down the audience's throat.
is making a realistic movie with tons of ads really product placement when our world its self is just a huge ad?
WOuld like to hear from others about this.
