As a seasoned movie critic with decades of film history under my belt, I find myself resonating deeply with Tim Robbins‘ concerns about the future of cinema. His words echo the sentiments of many who fear that the rise of algorithms is leading us down a path of homogenization, stifling creativity and unique storytelling.
Actor Tim Robbins, famous for “The Shawshank Redemption” and “Mystic River,” expressed his concerns about the future of films in an interview with The Guardian. He’s concerned because algorithms now largely decide what viewers watch, often pushing them towards similar content instead of unique offerings.
Robbins stated, ‘If you log into Netflix now to check out upcoming releases, you’d think that’s the future of movies, but we’re in deep trouble.’
At present, Robbins is featured on the Apple TV+ science-fiction show “Silo,” now in its second season. He shared with The Guardian that “Shawshank” is one of his reasons for maintaining hope that algorithms can be somewhat overcome, as many viewers turned down the prison drama when it premiered in cinemas in 1994.
30 years have passed since the release of “The Shawshank Redemption,” he stated. While it initially received positive reviews and Oscar nominations, few people saw it at first. However, its popularity grew when Ted Turner began airing it on his TV channel (Turner Classic Movies) and through VHS sales. Today, it’s a beloved film and consistently ranks as the highest-rated movie of all time on IMDb. This shows that a high-quality movie or TV show can endure over time, whether it was initially successful or not. Its impact will be felt for decades to come.
Since the release of “Dark Waters” in 2019, Robbins has become quite selective about his roles. He prefers not to invest his time in projects that seem trivial or unimportant, stating that he doesn’t wish to spend time on a set merely for the sake of being there.
Head over to The Guardian’s website to read Robbins’ latest profile in its entirety.
