>there are people right now pissing their lives away in film school oblivious to the fact that film is dead

no one cares for 2 hour dramatic narratives anymore. those that do consume it like candy. look at the way people react to oscar bait and the "high brow cinema" of today

de palma isn't as good as carruth but people back then were emotionally affected by his films. sure there are some that feel the same way when they watch a carruth or PTA film but they are not even 10% of that de palma audience

the truth is people have moved on from cinema. it has nothing to do with a lack of an attention span. people are just more in tune with the genre of lifestreaming. people are more interested in watching people's lives UNFOLD in REAL TIME. look at how popular bloggers have become over the last few years. next stop is VIRTUAL REALITY LIFESTREAMING

everything is immersive

no one will give a fuck about your shitty protagonist and his shitty arc unless they take part in it like a video game

film as we know it is dead. and just because you liked the latest A24 film or cannes entry doesn't prove otherwise
