International Visual Culture Review / Revista Internacional de Cultura Visual JA - revVISUAL VL - 1 IS - 2 SE - Research articles DO - 10.37467/gka-revvisual.v1.639 UR - https://visualcompublications.es/revVISUAL/article/view/639 SP - 1-9 AB - <p>This study tries to figure out how Hollywood pictures exaggerate the representation of reality turning digital films into a baroque creation far away from the audience. There is a nonsense fight between the biggest studios to compete in CGI and create the most spectacular visual effect in order to get success. However, that digital dependence has forgotten the main idea of cinema: the representation of a fiction story based on the real world. Due to this, visual effects dominate Hollywood market and have become their own problem.</p> ER -
