Is there truly nothing new under the sun? Seth Godin says that the number of creators is rising; that is, for every 100 consumers, there is someone with a blog, a TV show, or a product of some kind. When the world is saturated with creators, are the creators just re-creating old creations?
We’ve all heard this complaint from movie critics: That movie was formulaic. This movie was just that movie warmed over. The sequel just copies the “original.”
Just how creative are most of the movies, books, works of art, brochures or ads you see? Is there a finite number of human experiences to draw from? Is it a lack of creativity or laziness? Are we more likely to stick to the familiar just because it’s familiar?
Have you read this before?
I am really getting sick of all the movie remakes - it's just proof that everyone has run out of original ideas. Now they're remaking films like "Footloose" which is NOT necessary - some movies are just fine the way they are.
