Eugen RochkoI know 100% that people will argue with me over this, but I miss when movies were professionally lit, when actors were intentionally blocked, and when more than teal, orange and beige were allowed to be on the screen. The medium has something to do with it--film made a lot of these things fundamentally necessary--but I think it's more complex than just that. The last few years' movies are just not pleasant to look at, with very few exceptions, and the change occurred sometime around 2015.
swanksalot@Gargron also the sound staff seems to have all been fired - dialogue etc. hard to hear
Osma A 🇫🇮🇺🇦The ultimate "how could this ever leave post like this" movie is Dunkirk. But apparently Christopher Nolan had a reason to make the dialogue utterly impossible to hear. Or something.

The Sleight Doctor 🃏🍉@osma @swanksalot @Gargron My grandfather on dad's side spent the latter years of his life complaining that "youngsters these days don't enunciate clearly" and "mumble all the time". Never once did it occur to him that two things had happened: (1) he was slowly going deaf; and (2) the cadences and emphases of everyday English had shifted (as they have done for millennia) so he was listening for the wrong speech patterns.
20 years from now, older generations will be making the same complaints. 🤷🏻♂️
Have you actually tried to listen to Tom Hardy speak through a fighter mask while the Spitfire is rumbling and music is played at top volume? :)

@osma @swanksalot @Gargron I personally don't recall missing any important dialogue in that movie, but then it didn't engage me much anyway, so perhaps I did miss whole chunks and not even realise?
But then I'm also British, so there's that... 🤔
