Barkley- Wolfman, 1941 & 2010

Many things have changed between 1941 and 2010. Computer graphics, in particular, have allowed films to take on new dimensions. However this is not necessarily for the good of cinematography. The two versions of Wolfman represent this change. The 1941 version of Wolfman never fully shows the change from human to woflman. Instead the audience assumes that there is some painful change he undergoes before turning into the wolfman. Through the use of computer graphics, the audience is able to see the full transformation in the 2010 version, leaving nothing out. This difference changes the entire essence of each film. The 1941 version seems almost more real or at least believable due to what isn't showed in the film. By leaving more up to the imagination each viewer is invited to interrupt what's supposed to happen. Whereas in the 2010 version, nothing is left up to the imagination therefore leaving no room for the audience to be creative in their own minds. Every gruesome detail is shown in this version, making the film almost unbelievable. Computer graphics have certainly changed today's films and not necessarily for the better.
