Message: <blockquote data-quote="Guest&nbsp; 85555" data-source="post: 8572241"><p>This is absolutely true. And older generations don't always get newer ones. When crooners became a thing, the generation before derided that singing style as being only possible because of the new microphone technology (we think of Sinatra as classic now, but at that time he was viewed dimly by the older generation). When 60s rock happened, older people thought it was noise. And when heavy metal emerged, my parents generation (the 60s generation) didn't get it at all, or thought it was evil. So that is definitely a thing. I am aware of that as I am making my critique. But the only thing I can do is give an honest expression of my feelings on the movies I see. And one feeling I have had for a long time, is sometime around when Digital was becoming the new movie medium and CGI and superhero movies were becoming ubiquitous, I found myself only enjoying a small fraction of the movies that were released. Some of that is lack of interest in the topics (I don't particularly like superhero movies) but some of that is the medium changing: I can appreciate the early 80s superman movie visually, but I saw one of the more recent Superman's (I don't rsememrb the name of the film) and the visuals bothered my eyes: I just couldn't stand the way it looked. It didn't feel like a movie to me. It is possible my complaint is just an older person saying "This is noise". But it is also possible people will look back at the impact of things like digital, CGI, etc and see that as a key turning point in filming (and maybe they will even think it is a negative turning point, or maybe they will have a more balanced take but still conclude something from the prior era was lost).</p></blockquote><p></p>
