All the manifestos where very similar. I think that the Dogme95 was the most "radical" of the three as far as the specific rules that one had to follow. It is incredible how fast this medium has developed and how accessable it is to everyone. I feel that just as with still images, the makers can create perfect images for sake of asthethiics, but I think that more and more people are focusing on everyday life.( this can still be the part of peoples life the creator wants us to see.)
I like that all of them focus of the pure reprentations of people and spaces as they happend or as for some that the settings are real and not to be created with a green screen.
I feel that today we are mostly exposed to hollywood films and that just as the mekas manifesto mentions, we are not exposed to other independent films that do not dependt on special effects because they do not meet the popular expectation.
We are in a consumer era and it is very hard for directors to shy away from money and popularity and recognition, wich makes it difficult for others to stand out.
