>>512220628 (OP)everything is about generating numbers
hyper-capitalism means a company wont make a movie unless they can garuntee enormous profit
big fish wouldnt get made today because you cant market something like that to a new gen z audience and convince them to go to the theatre the first week and watch it (when movies make the most profit)
also everything is cgi now, no real stunts are special effects
the filming equipment is TOO good now, so DPs focus more on getting pretty instragram shots instead of using photography as a storytelling device
and the writing proccess has been watered down to save money
instead of a main writer working with a small team of writers to develop a fully cohesive story
you have hundreds of writers on a writing assembly line writing small parts to assemble a movie together instead of a few writers working together on an entire script
and now u got lazy directors just filming before the script is even finished and just rewriting it based on what the test audience wants
plus the new actors suck
old actors blocking all the good roles
no real gruesome violence anymore
political red tape on everything
too much thinking of the kids instead of making an awesome movie
culture is less unified, too many niches to please (back in the day everyone watched the same channels, the same movies, heard the same songs, so pop culture was a real thing instead of the internet created 1000000 niches for people to close themselves into)
also the switch to TV miniseries because fat americans will sit at home and watch the same series for years on end and sit through hours of commercials a day.
it's all been downhill since Inception. Inception was the last great movie where I was completely blown away at the movie theatre. Interstellar was aight. Get Out was coo. Barbie movie I fucked with. And that Elvis movie.
