The movies you mention are of an era nostalgia is a powerful thing even the things you revere were never possible without progression.

Thats the progression the films you mention wouldnt have been possible without it.

HALT LETS STOP HERE THE TRUTH HAS AN ERA HE LIKES.

No technology marches on regardless of nostalgia great/greater films will and have been made and will continue to be made.

My grandad used to tell me that some old crap he liked was the golden era of films just like some people now try and tell me their golden era was the best.

Sorry the truth but i disagree.

The gadget makers, car manufacturers, top architects and engineers and scientists are geniuses, I take my hat off to them all....its the idiots (music and movie producers editors etc or in other field car manufacturers who abuse the technology to bleed more money from customers by making cars infinitely more difficult to fix or rebuild) its these people who abuse the evolving technology that ruin it for everyone

much of this is regression.....take a look at architecture? you going to tell me all the new builds are better than the old ones? thats absurd...these idiot politicians in ediburgh for example had to spend £400 million on a new age political temple to themselves that looks more like a pile of liquorice allsorts, in a magnificent masterpiece of a city like edinburgh these clowns couldnt find a nice building to fit 50 useless policians and save tax payers £400 million? oh not but they used your exact same argument, its prgress and anyone who questions it is a dinosaur....the building will of course collapse and need to be rebuilt within 50 years? progression or regression?you decide

I dont believe in golden eras, theyre your words. |I just think some ideas are good some are bad, in all things a balance must be drawn between techniques used and by what youre trying to achieve. the editing inventions can each be looked at one a case by case basis, but dont lose sight of the objective, to improve the movie or the show or the product, to tell the story, often the gadgetry is overused and reduces the quality of the product...do these producers even ask people for their opinions?

The balance is totally out of whack in the movie and the music business now, the actors get £20 million the directors too are overpaid and the writers are simply not encouraged to write... Its all down to a fixed formula that serves the fat cats, just like most other walks of life, the game is fixed... The markets will all keep booming and collapsing and many of these things will rectify itself eventually and we will no doubt look back at some of the music videos and movies made this decade and shake our heads in embarassment. sadly the mass control and the dumbing down is difficult to reverse. when oxford graduates can count, what hope is there for the education system?

as for called progression, the majority of inventions are either bought in and kept by the corporations, or stolen or they employ thousands of engineers and own the intellectual property rights on all the inventions these workers create...the workers get a pittiful little bonus for inventions that may make or save millions...meanwhile inventions like electric cars are shelved for a 100 years, which could have saved the planet mass pollution.

the state of movies in this area is just another corner of the world the huge fat cats have controlled corrupted and demystified and we like the dumbed down idiots we are, dont recognise and queue in the rain at the boxing day sales for the next gadget
