You can literally listen to writers, directors, producers, and actors all talk about how cinema now is truly lower quality (including their own work) because it’s specifically created to be a background not a center of attention. They specifically make shit for you to have on in the background while you scroll on your phone, this has drastically altered the quality of what is being filmed.
Sure, there’s definitely good stuff to be found today as well. I’m just disappointed with the current trend of making remake after remake and reboot after reboot. Original content doesn’t get the attention it deserves in comparison.
I was with you until you generalized contemporary movies. Great things were made back then and great things are made today. Same for shitty slop.

Some may. Others make art. Generalizing artists as a monolith is irresponsible.
