It should cause no real controversy to say the adventure genre is – more or less – dead. There’s a reason the common question regarding the genre’s demise is not “whether,” but “why.”
Brilliant. As a human and filmmaker, I find myself increasingly alone in my willingness to answer the call to Adventure. Whether that call beckons me across the world, across the dance floor, or deep within there is always treasure to be found. Seems to be increasingly rare to encounter Others or Brothers who appreciate this. Thanks for this diagnosis. Now to the remedy.
Would you consider Neil Gaiman a proper adventure writer? Right now, I'm re-reading his excellent novel "Neverwhere," which I have always loved for its enormous supply of the exotic and mysterious.
Very true. Very true. It’s not about finding ourself in the other, but finding something worth loving in the other that is not us.
