Attack of the Hollywood Clichés! - L'imprevedibile classifica dei momenti più prevedibili del cinema

Kinda like a live action version of TV Tropes. However tends to lean heavily into a very "woke" commentary. From denigrating everyone involved in the Hays Code to criticizing white people as being automatically bad.

I didn't know about The Wilhem Scream's origins so that was neat. Rob Lowe is likable enough as the host but there's just enough here to justify its own existence. Why not go more into depth? Who doesn't already know about most of these cliches? The jump scare, the magical Negro (how could they not mention that genius Key and Peele sketch?), the White savior etc. Montages??? I would've loved to hear about cliche quotes such as "It's quiet...too quiet" etc. Origins of where the quotes came from etc. Maybe this would've worked better as a series that went more in depth and talked about cliches you might not know are cliches but as it is, it's just fine. Worse ways to spend an hour.

Hosted by Rob Lowe, the Netflix documentary Attack of the Hollywood Clichés takes us through the history of the most common clichés used throughout movie history.

As a lifelong film fan, I'm familiar with several of the clichés covered in the documentary. Sure there's a few that I agreed with, but there were parts that left me wondering, "Why would you cover that?" but I guess it's relevant. No need to get all woke on segments such as racism, gender and sexuality. That stuff is outdated anyway and it doesn't fit in with modern day audiences.

It's nothing groundbreaking that hasn't been covered before, but Attack of the Hollywood Clichés certainly fills the time.

6/10.

This Netflix special has a great sense of purpose, but it's not as focused as it could be if it was. It's a bit like a Spit -Take or Montage mode, and it's full of all the crazy facts that come from a fake scare called the Luton Bus, as well as the story of Willem's screams. It's not as thoughtful as it could be, but since it's only an hour, you can probably still watch it on your free weekends and pass it along to your cinema-loving friends. The problem is that it's not as funny as it should be, and it's not as irreverent as it could be. It's got the same lazy familiarity of the Hollywood movies it's trying to mock.

...That love whining about how unoriginal Hollywood, they can whine about this. It's short and I enjoyed it. It's definitely tongue in cheek.
