You know films made by Hitchcock and other classic directors. I mean filmmaking just started to bomb in the beginning of the 21st century and won't let up. Grant it, there has been good films recently.

I think the problem is too many young directors forget how to build up characters. Most movies today are nothing but quick edits. Directors need to show closeups and let the actors.....act, not react to a green screen.

The industry has a different demand. Before the 21st century, film makes produced films with the intention of creating good cinematography and a compelling, realistic, and genuinely well done movie. But that's no longer the demand. People want to see sex and violence in films, hence the reason why there are so many rated R movies. Some filmmakers try to rebel against this, but they fail because the film might make it to an Indie-Festival but never to the big screen, which means no ticket sales. Unfortunately, movie making is no longer an art, it is a business.

Working in an in patient Hospital Hospice unit gave me a perspective I could never have seen otherwise. A frequent comment by other nurses was that this type of work caused them to no longer fear death. Only my faith tells me WHERE you go after death but my experience tells me even more than that. First of all there is no doubt at all that there is in fact an afterlife. Most of my patients spent their last hours transitioning between two worlds. Some might say they were only hallucinating but the consistency of the dialog from patient to patient would prove otherwise. I am happy to say that in those years I only witnessed two deaths that were very disturbing in a spiritual way. Those patients struggled with death and the agony they experienced was very unsettling. But the majority were very peaceful and the one thing for sure about each whether peaceful or unsettling was that each one was without a doubt guided to the next "world" with an attendant. Just as we are never alone while we tread this planet we will never be alone for eternity, this I know for certain.

Every decade has had it's Roger Cormans as well as it's Alfred Hitchcocks. LOL! I think we have some great movie makers whose movies will stand up to time like Hitchcocks. My current favorite is M. Night Shyamalan. Not only are his stories good, he's simply a good film-maker. His use of symbolism, lighting, music...all makes for a good time and leaves me wanting more.

Unfortunately, so many of the populations around the globe don't appreciate good film making I suppose. It's the same as free to air television, many people, especially youth, are only interested in crap - reality, lifestyle,,, and the governments encourage this, because they want to 'dumb' the people, to keep pulling more and more wool over our eyes. If you want to make an 'intelligent' film, it has to be independent more often than not, and you have to foot the bill. I know lots of people who don't mind what they pay to see at the cinema, so long as it's a night out. It would take a miracle to return to the days of Hitchcock and co.

Someone mentioned something about alot of monster movies being made in the 50's...
The thing about that is those were completely original ideas back then. By now, when we are something like the 5th rendition of King Kong, good ideas are ahrd to come by. The same basic plots get used over and over.

It's still there but I think it's harder for individual filmmakers to shine. I do agree that good films are more than just the some of their parts.

You're kidding, right? How many Godzilla, Dracula, Zombie and Future-world movies did the industry spit out in the 50's and 60's? What about "Teen Wolf", "The Blue Lagoon", and the other high-school flops of the 70's and 80's? And SURELY you've seen "Faster, Pussycat! Kill, Kill!"... There are bad movies and worse directors for every decade...

Hitchcock had great ideas in his movies, but there are a lot of technical mistakes in his movies. And I agree, for every "classic" movie there have been thousands of bad movies, now and before.
