The trouble with digital 'too perfect' movies is frame rate and motion blur.
Real nature documentaries don't achieve these highly detailed images where every hair or scale is perfectly visible and focussed upon. The details move in and out of focus to quickly.
To take account of the imperfections of real filming, will make the digitally perfect look believable and real again.
But that's a challenge for future special effects creators.

though 1917 was a fine film, i think it was less deserving for vfx Oscar among these. heavy weights fought and smart one took advantage. and i don't know why academy members are all the time against ILM. they would award golden compass, 1917, interstellar but not ILM. they did the same to Spielberg not giving him Oscar for ET, to Coppola for Godfather 1, to Orsen Welles for Citizen Kane.

Tbh the CGI in the Irishmen doesn-t make much of a difference as to how -young- the actors look. It just makes them look like they were airbrushed, but I think that makes them look more artificial than young. The CGI just doesn-t seem necessary imo. Keep them looking the way they do, or hire younger actors.
reply

A note on the Irishman, Scorsese didn't want the actors to look like younger versions of themselves, but rather the characters to look like younger versions of themselves. Ie, not Robert DeNiro looking like a younger Robert DeNiro, but rather Frank Sheeran looking like a younger Frank Sheeran.

-that blend of physical and digital is part of the star wars DNA-
yeah except for the prequel trilogy, which is all claustrophobic greenscreens with absolutely no sense of physicality. but i'm sure this guy wouldn't know anything about the VFX for the star wars prequel trilogy, lol

The ethical concern of replacing actors with a digital version being nonsensical might have to be rethought lol seeing as Disney had plans to bring back James Dean for the movie -Finding Jack-, although the movie has since been cancelled it-s still good food for thought

We are millions that wait for oldschool moviemaking, all that digi'we'can'do'it'all is going down. take a man and a camera and make a real film/movie and bring reality to the industry back. holly'we'know'it 'all does not now. really.

I have ethical concerns with hiring fewer actors to keep box office stars getting all the parts. How many actors got their start playing younger versions of a main character? It's just another reason for Hollywood to avoid risk.

Why does Carrie Fisher's face look fake and her body real? I've known about the reusage for a while now, but since the first time I saw it I've had that reaction to her face and I haven't been able to unsee it.

I've seen 1917 on Imax and I just love this movie. Although him jumping into the river is just the weakest CGI. It looks fake and that's a shame. It's the weakest section in the entire movie for me.
