Reminder Normies and casual viewers don't watch the classics

calling people 'normies' is the biggest shibboleth for being a cancerous newfag

There are thousands of classics now and more screen related hobbies

But neither do you, /v/
Does that make you a normalfag?

I'm not that surprised.

Im sure everyone in the 50s and 60s was constantly watching silent films from the 1910s. Oh wait no they fucking werent. OP is a fag

>the millennial meme
when will blaming people half their age finally end

>>86561124
A lot of this is more due to the fact that studios had no interest in maintaining or screening silent films, regardless of what people wanted.

When television really hit in the 50s though, the demand for them to open up their vaults did increase significantly.

In 2011 I was talking about BttF with a few people and a couple of them had never seen it. I was really sad that day.

Disgusting. Really gives the word "pleb" new meaning. Or at least gives the word back it's original meaning

Yeah I bet they asked millions of people on their taste in movies, i couldn't be that they talked with four college fucks that only watch vice tier sponsored queer cinema.

Can you blame us. There's plenty to watch each year like and those movies look so bad and old. It hurts to look at.

There really needs to be some specification between millenial half A and millenial half B.

>>86560909
I think the problem is that people have a tendency to consider anything older than a certain age "classic" and therefore automatically better than anything that came after it. /v/ is the same way with video games.

There are no doubt great movies from the early 20th century but the truth is that, just like today, the vast majority of the movies made then were shit.

Watched stranger on a train last night for the first time. I was in awe. did actors back then usually put more effort in to their script then they do back then?

>>86562587
To be honest those are all grossly overrated films. The one thing they have in common is that what it took to produce them, such as the elaborate practical effects and the building of the huge sets (any one of those films would cost well over a billion dollars to make if they were produced using the exact same methods today) are undoubtedly impressive and awe-inspiring. But as far as shit like dialog, the acting itself, the writing, etc. none of them are particularly good movies. People are just tragically nostalgic for them, and the era in which they were made.

>>86561124
>>86561231
The want to see new things always outweighs seeing something most everyone knows about already.

They probably asked people "have you watched a movie from before 1960?" and most millenials said no, because they would assume that movies like wizard of Oz and Sound of Music were films from the 80s or something

>>86560909
Why should we? Most of the "classic" films reeks of the casual racism, sexism, homophobia and transphobia that no longer is accepted by modern standards. That's like asking us to value the contributions of the Middle Ages when that period was nothing but religious fanaticism, anti-intellectualism, anti-science, and disease, war, famine, witch burnings, and slavery until the Renaissance saved humanity from those evils.

I take it you meant 'It's A Wonderful Life'. Funny thing about that movie. I rewatched it for the first time in several years last Christmas and was surprised to find out that the segment where he finds out what life would be like if he was never born was only like 10 minutes of the whole movie.

The article OP posted has gone with the wind. I assumed thats what he meant by classic. not "pop classic" or "sci fi classic"

classic means different things to different folks.

Most generations have no cared about the previous generations accomplishments. People are self-centered and want things to be easily digestible, they don't want to have to look at something from a historical context.

Also this is a shitty thread, fuck off.

>>86560909
The language of Cinema is constantly evolving. The vocabulary of shots, concepts, ideas, and notions available to the modern filmmaker are deeper and wider than any time in the past. Classics can be entertaining in learning the evolution of that vocabulary, but it is sophomoric and puerile to think they are better than modern films. Even cash-grab garbage like the Transformers series is better than the "classics" due to the fact that it is built with a more intelligent and complex set of tools. Millennials can sense this. They have an inherent sense of authenticity and this makes them the most intelligent consumer generation to have ever lived. Their approval through patronage is the highest stamp of quality.

The major cultural divide is the degree of digital nativism. The older cohort, like the younger, was always good with tech, but at the same time has real living memory of what the world was like before the internet and modern phones were pervasive in private life, which only really got traction in the late 90s. Computers were still mostly playthings for rich nerds and the things that you use at work as late as the mid-90s.

Now you understand how culturally poisonous youth culture is. It's the reason why the gay subculture has the notion of "gay death" - taking place anywhere from 18 up to 25 or so - and would rather be dead than old. Because there is nothing else to the human experience than being sexy.

If an article mentions the word "millenials" it's just a clickbait article meant to inflame millenials. Guess who reads online articles? Fucking millenials. It's a dumb marketing gimmick used by shitty news outlets and the fact that this thread exists is a testament to how fucking stupid this generation is when it comes to logical reasoning.

This is true. I was born in 1985, never have had a Facebook page, don't currently have a smartphone, no twitter account, etc. I can't stand the whole 'nose in their phone' culture that is becoming increasingly prevalent. It's shortening attention spans and generally making people a lot less interesting, not to mention driving people into binary identity politics.

They're not as accessible, and often times plebs think they're too slow-paced when you can load up Star Wars or Marvel shit for instant gratification.

/tv/ hasn't watched the classics either.
