I don’t think the kids hate it, just that the attention span isn’t what it used to be.
But it also works for us imo, to a degree. I at least find the pacing of 80’s or 90’s tv much calmer. And I daresay a movie from the B&W era would be slower still.
And I don’t think there’s yet a professional short-form making masterclass so that’s where the kids end up
Ever watch 2001: A Space Odyssey? I love it, but man it’s slow.
Also it’s a movie that asks more questions than it answers, which annoys a lot of people.
I saw Terminator 3 in the theater. The first 20-30:minutes, with that crazy chase, I was like, is this going to be the whole film? Eventually it does show down and take a breath, but I still remember my initial reaction to that.
I don’t think you understood what I meant. Most movies wrap up all the plotlines at the end. 2001 just leaves the viewer wondering what happens next. You see the star child, then the movie just ends. There’s also no explanation about the people that built the monoliths and transformed Bowman.
That’s the point of the movie. It’s not suppose to answer questions.
You simple want it to be a totally different movie than it is. You want it to be a nice convenient package that doesn’t make you question anything or think.
Other people actually enjoy thinking about things. They don’t want answers and they don’t care about plotlines.
i am still awestruck by that short of that girl who tosses her phone up in the air and it spins around a few times and gets the amazing slomo spinny shot of the beach and then boobs. I’m gonna be honest, i used to do camera work and i still can’t figure out how she thought it up (not the boobs part, everyone can think up boobs) she is a genius. she could cut out the boobs part it is such an amazing shot.

a lot of people are idiots if they are looking for ‘answers’ in entertainment products.
i don’t expect my car to tell me the purpose of life. i expect it to get me places.
and the purpose of film class is to teach you how films work as a medium and learn to analyze them as such. not to entertain you.

If only we’ve shown kids Looney Tunes/Merrie Melodies a bit more…
I don’t see how that’s relevant.
