      I agree. I'm just pointing out that, technically, the acting and writing is not anywhere close to what you find in modern films and shows. Newer movies can be condemned for poor writing and performances even when it's objectively better than what you find in old "classic" films.https://twitter.com/baseballcrank/status/1138901902446465025 …

      Very bad take. Yes, Wizard of Oz deserves credit for being groundbreaking & influential in many ways. But it's also a definitive film version of a classic American novel (compare to the James Franco Oz film), endlessly quotable, visually stunning, memorable songs & performances. https://twitter.com/MattWalshBlog/status/1138897130901430280 …

      There was nobody in Hollywood in 1940 or 1950 that came close to the raw acting talent of someone like Meryl Streep or Daniel Day Lewis or one of our great actors today. The "greats" of that era were turning in performances that would be considered hammy and contrived today.

      Also, crucially, audiences have become more sophisticated, and expect more mastery and nuance.

      Have you... err... watched a movie in the last 10 years or so?

      I'm not talking about superhero movies. I'm talking about movies for grown ups.

      You're still wrong. It's easier to see the lack of sophistication of a culture or time that's not your own, but overall, modern movies are pretty dull and heavy-handed. If anything, endlessly rehashing earlier works has made audiences less sophisticated.

      Thinking you're smarter and more sophisticated than those who came before is the most timelessly basic opinion.

      You must be new to my feed. I'm very traditionalist about most art forms.
