Flicks today are bad. Because all screenwriters and directors went to film school and all learnt how to make a movie. How to tell a story. By all reading the same textbook. Like, first scene. The protagonist has to save the cat. Two thirds into the movie is the culmination of the rising action. All movies feel samey. Beat-by-beat, you feel it coming. Movies used to be good and interesting because directors and screenwriters stumbled into the career after being like sailors or hobos for the fist half of their life. And they had theories and ideas about how to tell a story. But, they were idiosyncratic theories.
