Why do so many people feel like movies just don’t hit the way they used to? In this video I talk about how cinema has changed over the last few decades – from studio risk-taking to franchise overload, streaming, CGI, test audiences, box-office pressure, and how all of that affects storytelling, characters, and the way films are made today. I also share some of my own experiences as a movie fan and why older films still feel different – sometimes better, sometimes just less manufactured. 🔹 Are movies really getting worse, or are we just getting older? 🔹 How did streaming and algorithms change what gets made? 🔹 Can big studios still take risks, or is that now the job of indie filmmakers? Watch and tell me what you think in the comments – which era of movies do you prefer, and why?
