Besides talking about the movie this
weekend, Barnes had another purpose of showing his audience the direction that
he believes most movies are going it. Barnes believes that the real money in
movies is coming from restarting or continuing franchises. This weekend was the
example of the continuation of Star Wars, but later there will be more of the
Avengers, Indiana Jones, and X-Men.
One of the greatest components of
this article that made it great was the wit and informality that can be seen.
When describing the role movies are moving to, Barnes writes, “plan to battle back: Death Star-size movies that can
capture the public’s imagination in ways reminiscent of the earliest years of
blockbusterdom, before the hyperfragmentation of pop culture” (Barnes 1). This
quote exemplifies his wit and humor, along with his informal jargon. These
characteristics make the article seem more like a conversation making it all
the more enjoyable to read. So when the audience, who is suppose to be the general
public, reads this, it will appeal to all of them.
