LOL! ;D
Part of me wishes for movies to be as simple and stunning as they were, but I’m mostly glad we’ve moved past that. Classics are classics for a reason… Because there will never be another like it again. They’ll always be there, and they’ll never lose their glamour.
So be happy, and move on… To STAR TREK XI!

The major change was the use of spfx in films, that opened the visual medium to greater lengths and so most character based stories that consisted of dialogue as in most of Joseph L. Mankiweicz’s films have become pretty extinct - he had the uncanny ability to combine traits of Broadway theatre into the screen and used very few locations and gave film its “visual medium” a run for it’s money. Nowadays no one could get away with that because the broad audience would deem that to be dull cinema. I think three of our most old school writer/directors around that can tell great stories without any sfx bullshit are Paul Thomas Anderson, QT, and The Coens.
