I'm not anti-modern films, but there is an absence of just telling a story as simply as possible. It's more about atmosphere and mood or references and sound bites to promote on tiktok.

The late Andrew Sarris, film critic for the NY Village Voice, pointed out in a brilliant article in the late 1970's that with the mega-success of Star Wars, the focus audience for films had become the 14 year old boy, because if they liked a film they would go many times. This created a magnetic pull toward action rather than thought. He also pointed out that since Hollywood films made more money overseas rather than domestically that there was a trend to reduce dialog to a minimum. Sarris stated in his article "Can you imagine "The Philadelphia Story" translated into Egyptian?" - rather sums up the dilemma. Food for thought. Thank you.
