Is just speaking of "cinema" is over?

For those who have growth in any movie Renaissance-- 1960s, 70s, the animated one in the 1990s and beyond, one argue that by the multiplication of platforms, the expensive costs of tickets in theaters and maybe more offensively, the barrage of sequels, spin-offs and remakes of past franchises leave me the conclusion that the cinema in 2025 is thus far, inept at best. Something that wasn't in the cards since the 1950s, where movie studios pull a merciless vie against the arrival of Television to households.

But over seventy years later, is people still going in theaters for the cinema experience or for the pop-corn? I would says the latter...

Because the artistic world and the one from ordinary people are pretty difficult to unite each other. This seems more apparant by the later years and also, the later months. The one time where I have quit to trust to any artists out there were about the killing mass-shooting in the Palestine on October 7th 2023, because I having hear any words to them, more busy with their pretentious, out-of-nowhere artsy crap than known that grieves and pains still exists on our world.

This is parts why the right-winging class intriguing me. Them, are for the working-class people, the homeless people, the ones who are single parents or have a low revenue or for defund universities by became mere asylum hospitals with wokes and creepers all around. And there goes what the film industry looks like in 2025.

Aside of lack or originality, this is likely a thing from obscure fans, those with an agenda in hand, determinate to harassed sexually underages or women anywhere they came from. You can't even trust the Anthro community by be nothing but a bunch of cynical creeps who never known about actual sense of proportions. It's very difficult to believe that family movies still embrace it since the first Shrek movie was made around one quarter-century back. Since then, Furries movies and shows become not sophisticated like in the Looney Tunes heydays, but pretty generic, when just the question to known why they're animals firsts are just intentional.

In this very-AI age, what is exactly the point to learn what construction, stagging, composition, perspective, anatomy, smears or squash-and-stretch in drawings are about when you can just get one brand-new image by Bing in fewer seconds? I am part guilty to it, but you need some artistic effort and discipline to earn this.

The real Golden Age of Cinema is no longer in the old 1930s to 50s Broadway musical bits of before, but in the 1970s! Top hits movies like the three Godfathers, Taxi Driver, Annie Hall, the first-ever Star Wars movie franchise or even so, Chinatown or the masterpiece Clockwork Orange were done by people who really enjoy the cinema at art, by own both an artistic and mainstream approach. It weren't things made for the elite like it is today. Counting it to the animated movie The 12 Tasks of Asterix is always a fun study of how movies in this decade were made from raw talent, are honest and were seen like essays of an artform that needed some. Things will be more inconsistent when the 1980s launching the norm of movies serials.

And now, we are in 2025-- Who still going to the old plain movie theater, by endearing a rude audience, lots of popcorn munchers or twenty long minutes of commercials before the movie start? At least, on TV and streamings, commercials were splitted up at "breaks" and that went when movie fans circles became smaller and smaller.

The only place where modern filmmakers can own acolades and a fine revenue for their productions are not so in the theaters anymore-- It's on the Festivals.

Remember that over a mid-century back, filmmakers didn't having social media, neither Home Video, streamings or Internet for make shooting a movie and own an endearing audience. You have to learn the art of cinema on the go.

One minor good point about our era? We've finally know that musical numbers in movies are a horrendous idea. The Mean Girls reboot, Joker 2 or also Wicked or the useless La-La-La Land have made the same mistakes like in many 90s animated features to add a musical number for no reason. It only works when the music can work like a character in and on itself. But it's all pathetic when you have a serious plot to striking for.

Such a reason why TCM and others have stop to shown the same M-G-M Broadway movies for shown pictures that portray actual sesnsibilities of the 21th century. The Art of Cinema hadn't started up by the launch of movie studios in the 1920s, but when the Post-1960s era of filmmakers understood what the point of a movie have to be. But why else they are all replaced by lots of Star Wars, DC and Marvel?

I have stop to going in theaters since 2013. I think just going there around five or six times since that day. That just proving that we have changed since the actual films projectors been all replaced by mere discs while showing in the big screen. It's really like watching TV with a live audience.
