I was rewatching old Disney stuff and I'm surprised at how adult child movies were back then.

>>87271337
Yes, I agree with this completely. To add to your point spielberg even went back and edited his movies to make them more child friendly (replacing the agents guns with radios in ET) and things like that.

>>87271337
it's more like they created blockbusters with movies like Jaws and Star Wars, and that made movies the main events of the summer.

Movies don't make kids violent.
Movies don't make kids do drugs.
Movies don't make kids have sex.
Movies don't make grown men act like kids.

maybe but I dont see how you can watch those classics and say they killed the medium.

millenials are concrete and absolute proof of what growing up on a steady diet of western media does to a human being

>>87272265
I'm not saying they killed cinema, I'm saying they trivialised it.

>>87272250
I think most people are far more influenced by cinema, TV, advertising etc than they realise or would care to admit. Including me.

Fixed. With the added fact the shithead millenial children ate up all the garbage their parents fed them. Now you have 35 year old man children. Also, kill yourself, faggot chink.

>>87272250
You are missing the point, we are talking about how some movies changed the movie industry wich is a totally valid argument.

>Jewish media
well yeah duh, but why do you think im a gook lol

In that case I don't think it was so much them as it is the movie studios consolidating down into 3 or 4 mega corporations and effectively killing any form of competition.

It was those 2 instead of De Palma, Coppola and Scorsese.

But we can't turn back time. People vote with their wallets.

>>87271337
Yes, they ruined cinema with two great films ironically.

Jawas, Star Wars, Indy etc are great films in their own right but they did skew the industry too much towards thrills and spectacle with many shitty remakes, sequels and imitators.

Jesus Christ, how did they get away with this?

>>87271337

its the opposite, spielberg's films tend to be much more humanist and have more philosophosical qualities than blockbusters traditionally did

The true people who infantalised film are Peter Jackson, Christopher Nolan, Pixar and Marvel

>infantalise

It's like 1am in Europe. Go to bed.

>>87274900
this and now Marvel have did the same with the cinematics universe

>>87271717
why

Michael Cimino crashed United Artists with Heaven's Gate, ending the era where directors had control of their films with limited studio interference. After ET and Star Wars, studios pushed for more big budget blockbusters.

New Hollywood is a myth. The only year of box office that could truly be considered influenced by "arthouse" is 1969

In what century do you live where cinema isn't a monopoly?
