Do you watch "modern" cinema or older flicks? - Lemmy.World

In terms of “older” cinema: mainly starting from 1950’s until 2010’s (consisted of Silent, Boomer or Gen X actors) while “modern” cinema is more on after 2015 (where all the woke agenda started appearing later on just to place who they deem their “modern” audience alongside excess use of CGI, make up, plastic surgery, green screen or AI) that it doesn’t even look believable. Movies from the past used miniatures, practical effects, constructing movie sets alongside being filmed on location (as this was prior to CGI and green screen) like that scene from the ten commandments (1956) on how they managed to pull off the “parting of the red sea” sequence without them using green screen or CGI (the movie came out in the 50’s before either existed). The acting from those vintage movies is different from today, as back then the majority are in black and white, only select movies are filmed entirely in technicolor. Back then, actors & actresses have to annunciate their voice as if they’re in a theater (even on film) since only black and white footage has it’s limitations. Technicolor movies have bright sets just to capture the hue on camera. Movies made today seem “trash” (again, not all) as there’s a trend on actors having to explain to the audience on what’s going on since writers are aware that people nowadays have a short attention span on watching the movie (due to doomscrolling on their phone), while that isn’t the case with older movies from the 1950, 60, 70, 80 or 90s since people were not distracted with TikTok shorts. Being a movie star in the past required talent and skill, basically grinding from being an extra until you become the main lead when you get the chance. Now, it seems like Hollywood is hiring social media influencers to become movie stars, but making a TikTok short & being famous from that overnight is not the same as professional filmmaking since those are not comparable at all.
