>Every home will be transformed into its own TV studio. We’ll all be simultaneously actor, director and screenwriter in our own soap opera. People will start screening themselves. They will become their own TV programmes. Tangentially related but I've watched the film La Terra Trema (1948) recently. It was made post WW2, shot in one of the poorest region of Italy. The most interesting thing about the film that 1, everything was shot on location 2, all characters were played by locals, all amateur actors 3, we don't know which scenes are staged or real (documentary). And everything works. I never felt that I was watching amateur actors. Yes it's an old film but still more fresh than anything you see nowadays. And made me think that is it even possible to shoot a film like that today? We are all "poisoned" by TV, internet, social media, even radio. Would we able to act naturally at all? Probably impossible to do a film like that in Europe anymore and pretty much in all developed countries too. Maybe if it were in Africa or in some remote village in SEA.
