One of my biggest pet peeves is when people say we don't have any new or original ideas for movies and that it's all about adaptations. Obviously, this myth stems from advertising, because people in Hollywood advertise the hell out of adaptations. How are you supposed to do it the same way with original ideas?
However, this DOES NOT MEAN WE HAVE NO ORIGINAL IDEAS. I can think of five original critically-acclaimed 2019 movies right off the bat:
Once Upon a Time in Hollywood
Us
The Farewell
Midsommar
Portrait of a Lady on Fire
Other acclaimed originals include:
The Kid Who Would Be King
Crawl
Isn't It Romantic
Other movies that didn't get that kind of reception include:
Long Shot
The Beach Bum
Brightburn
Yesterday
It's obvious this is just a big whopper believed by people who aren't paying attention.
