computer graphics in feature film

I already touched on the problem of the computer graphics in the movies earlier and also in my other blog "Japanese Manga."  But I must say I am NOT oppose to the use of CG in the films at all. 

In recent years we see many computer-edited works, especially the moneymakers with top stars.  I can understand the situations of the film industry -- because of the matters of production cost, visual clearness, image interest, special effects and so forth.  If so, I am wondering about the future of the motion pictures without good actresses and actors to play their roles.  Using extra-type people will do by the CG's gimmick. 

I cannot help thinking of competition among movie studios only seeking for how to express images by the computer.  Science fiction-type movies might need the computer technique, but not for other genre, I should say.  Isn't it a time for production staff to go back to the basics -- representing a microcosm of life and society, and people's feelings -- and to come up with impressive, emotional and magnificent story by racking their brains?  And then, movie fan WILL come back. #YS
