Movies Today Vs Movies Of The Past

Sadly it has been like this for a very long time... Looks like like people love guns, explosions, special effects, and dumb superheroes stories (sorry, superheroes mean nothing to me) no matter what...

I like mainly old cinema. And some of the newest, as long it has a good story behind it.

I'm not sure when last I saw a REALLY good film. It might be The Pianist. Superhero movies are entertaining and we usually pick those, sci fi or horror for date night but it's been ages since I saw a REALLY well written film. I had high hopes for Bird Man but I hated it. Sorry. I know it won.

You are too right Pipperoo. I go to the movie theater every weekend, but I'm having a hard time remembering the last film that truly moved me. Sadly, mediocrity has been the rule not the exception for a very long time. This is really the new golden era of television where tv shows are taking more daring and interesting approaches to storytelling than Hollywood.

That said, there are a few films from the last couple years I would recommend: Diary of a Teenage Girl was a pretty decent adaptation of a great book, Whiplash was a shockingly good look at obsession, and The Handmaiden a twisted and sexy adaptation on another favorite book but moves the story from Victorian England to colonial Korea. Lastly, on my list of films to see is Moonlight which was recommended to me by anyone who has seen it. People tell me it is one of the most beautiful films they've ever seen.

i really liked eternal sunshine, too
