The overarching concern is about the erosion of cinematic heritage. Many of the most groundbreaking and artistically rich films originate from the past, particularly from the 70s and 80s. These classics have shaped modern storytelling, yet today's industry often disregards them, leading to a lack of inspiration and a decline in original creativity.
There's a sentiment that if one hasn't been exposed to these foundational works—preferably before their own birth—they are missing out on the true essence of cinema. The emphasis on visual effects and franchise fatigue compromises the development of compelling stories.
