For me, what I like in movies of all kinds is where there are fundamental truths of life, found out of context with the framing. Most action films these days do not have this - but Shakespeare does.
I think the reason I can write so much, is because i consume so little :)
Nicely put. I had to read this a couple of times ( or should say, when rested ) to get what you are saying.
This is usually the case for me but not always. Sometimes I really need some 80s entertainment ( like, for instance, a John Carpenter movie or a nostalgic film like Gremlins ) or, perhaps, a 1990s action movie.
In all honesty, I watched so many heavy arthouse movies, back in the days when I studied film, that I sometimes need the polar opposite.
There's still good entertainment and mediocre or terrible, empty attemtps at entertainment. I naturally prefer the former.
P.S. If you want some more specific film recommendations - that fit your taste - feel free to reach out to me on Discord. This is me on there: VincentNijman ZENsitivosaurus#5870
Have a great day!
