Peter Chan Says No to Full AI Movies (And Why Long Films Aren’t Going Anywhere!)

• What Peter Chan REALLY thinks about AI in movies
• Why feature films are here to stay (at least for a while!)
• The secret sauce that only humans can bring to the screen

You won’t believe what we just heard from an amazing filmmaker!

Peter Chan Ho-sun, the genius behind stunning movies like “Comrades: Almost a Love Story” and “The Warlords,” recently shared some super interesting thoughts. And we are all ears!

So, here’s the scoop: Peter Chan is okay with using AI for a little bit of help in filmmaking. Maybe for some technical stuff, you know? But AI-GENERATED content (that’s AIGC)? Nope. Not even a little bit! He drew a hard line there.

It makes sense, right? It’s all about that human touch. The *vibe* of a film, the raw emotions that only a real person can pour into every single frame. Think about the rich, sometimes melancholy, often beautiful colors and deep, intimate storytelling in his movies. AI just can’t fake that genuine aesthetic. It’s a special kind of magic.

And get this: he thinks two-hour feature films are totally here to stay. Even with all the super short, vertical dramas popping up everywhere. He’s betting on the long game. For his lifetime, anyway!

This reminds us a bit of what Travis Knight from ‘Wildwood’ said about AI – ‘Not For Me!’ It’s definitely a hot topic right now! Just like everyone’s buzzing about the *cboe volatility index* or who’s winning the *lech poznań vs sunderland a.f.c. standings* (sports fans, we see you!).

There’s something special about a story told by people, for people. It’s like comparing a quick selfie (JWoww’s are amazing though! See for yourself!) to a beautifully crafted painting. Both have their place, but one aims for something deeper. That’s why we were so sad when we lost another star from a classic show – those human connections mean everything!

Our Take

We totally get where Peter Chan is coming from. There’s an artistry in filmmaking that comes from human experience. The way a scene is framed, the subtle emotions on an actor’s face, the entire feeling of a film – that’s something a computer can’t truly replicate.

We agree that feature films have a unique power to draw you in and keep you there. Sometimes you just want to sink into a big, epic story. And for that, you need that human heart. We’re excited to see what real-person magic he cooks up next!
