The absolute state of Yea Forums

No more good movies
Chernobyl ended
Almost all television has been on a sharp decline in quality since 2007
No new great directors with any unique aesthetic or sensibilities
The few remaining great directors are completely ignored by the mainstream because of their subjectivity
The hack fraud directors lauded by the mainstream are just people adhering to the latest identity politics rhetoric as the core of their movies
All focus on aethetic really has been eroded since only literal television-show directors are handed all the big budget projects
All that's left for Yea Forums to talk about is memes and politics

you need to dig deeper

>All focus on aethetic really has been eroded
wtf are you talking about. Aesthetics has been in the forefront of any artistic project for the last decade (for the last century if you ask me)

It's more like all focus on technicality has been eroded.

I was hoping for duckroll.

The aesthetic of movies, particularly since Robert Altman died, in America particularly, has literally been transformed to almost entirely the television-mode
Mid closeups and closeups make up the majority of the compositions in film, everything has been desaturated to hell and the focus has shifted entirely from visual storytelling to exposition and dialogue focus
Even the most "visually-interesting" american films right now are mostly either regurgitating previous visuals with no improvement or just covering everything in neon lights
Dramatic lighting has been all but erased
Camera angles are almost all flat or the occassional "THIS IS INTENSE/CRAZY" dutch angle
On top of that, editing has become laughably inept, destroying even a baseline of visual clarity for most movies to hide the ineptitude of the directors
It seems the only places that still respect film as a visual art are Europe and China

I would say the same thing, just to be polite. Let me tell you something that might be a bit dangerous. I was raised in Japan. I was schooled in martial arts. I was given the title of master. They take a movie “The Last Samurai.” They have a 5-foot-2-inch little guy, whether he was straight or gay, I don’t know. I don’t care. He had never been to Japan. He doesn’t speak Japanese. He has never held a sword. They make him the Last Samurai. We got 450,000 phone calls [laughs] from everybody in the world saying, “That role was perfect for you. How did that happen?” Most of the people I know didn’t like the film and didn’t go see it. It’s just a classic example of Hollywood and the politics.

I used to drink his energy drinks back in high school and watched his movies every weekend with friends because they were so bad that they were good

hell yeah dude
wait, what was his energy drink?

I feel like Baneposting opened the floodgates to the point where limitless shitposting is perceived as totally fine.

I actually agree with most of these points, except the lighting part. What do you mean by "dramatic lighting"? Because in my opinion lighting techniques have evolved significantly and the trick with them is that the lighting is so good, that the movies don't even "look" lit. Which is probably the hardest thing to do lighting wise.

jannies getting uppity does that
