Quentin Tarintino's Star Wars?

The internet, in addition other technological medias, have enabled audiences to give feedback upon cinema. I agree that pop culture has become more democratized because of these technological outlets. "Hooks, books & looks" are monitored and altered by the audience, while film-makers aim to satisfy these requests. Free form creation in cinema only reached a particular audience. When the director posses almost all the power in the content, disregarding consumer's ideals, it is no longer a democracy of material- indicated by the amount of people who response to the film in a positive light. Ideas are often evoked by film, but today we have the vices to make our ideas into a visual expression using technology.

Architecture after couture

Kazys Varnelis' belief is that architecture is on the brink of demise due to the, somewhat recent, lack of creative structure. Varnelis focuses on the 17th & 18th centuries in which both couture, custom made goods (fashion), and architecture were correlated together in the sense that they displayed wealth factors and aristocracy. I believe the disunity of couture and architecture began after the second world war. Much of Europe was destroyed by battle and conquest and did not have the proper funds to rebuild buildings of high design. For instance, London possesses a much more industrial vibe with the occasional landmarks, that brighten and color the city... rebuilding as soon as possible, and as cheap as possible, was the goal of the time. The beautiful architecture of Europe is simply the remaining structures that bombs did not explode.
However, the reconstruction of Europe after WWII cannot conclude the division of architecture and couture. While fashion is continuiously evolving, the structure or ARCHITECTURE of buildings has remained rather primative. What needs to occur, is a demand. Today, couture is much more accessible. In 17th century France, the elegance and grace of buildings were to imply the wealth and status of the people inside; extravagence was meant to amuse those who could obtain or live in such structures. Now that couture has been popularized, the need to unify both fancy architecture and fashion has dissipated.
