    You just can't call them movies in the same way if they are displayed on
    giant television screens. Silent movies were probably displayed better
    than movies are now.
    And finite technology brings its habits. Dark images, photography over cinematography, letterboxing instead of widescreen, shitty camera
    shooting methods, CGI replacing production design, bad dialogue sound,
    fuzzy narratives, cheap looking movies.

    I watched Vanishing Point (1971) for the first time last night.
    Pondering again that period of cinema. Like how does a movie like Easy
    Rider become a classic and also a success if I'm not wrong? It must be something about what is put in the film, not just trying to make good
    cinema by habits.

    Maybe the problem with me is that I just don't care about anyone's ideas nowadays.
