>>212398858>If you are wondering why script and cinematography went bad, it's because the industry are dedicating more and more to literally golems. These shows satisfy them. They watch it for "the plot", "the representation" and "the politics". Things that require nuance like how the shots are done and what character development are ... those don't exist.>Think about it, the dumbest action movie jocks you knew in the 2000s probably have better eyes for films than this.It's not because individuals watch them, individuals want to make them, or even because the institutions that produce them are committed to making this kind of content. The big media firms are rotting from the outside in as the last normal boomers, gen Xers and elder millennials are replaced due to just time and turnover. The people who get jobs in the industry are at least on paper more talented (have attended avante garde neomarxist DEI institutions of learning) than people who actually like movies who continue to become more and more alienated and pushed further to the margins
You are left with this very weird situation where the industry is still growing on paper, they are hiring "the best and brightest" but the publics investment in art and entertainment continues to decline in a broader sense and no one is allowed to actually say what the fifth of liquor the industry is poisoning itself with everyday even is
