Thoughts About Modern Cinema

One day I was comfortably sitting in my chair having a supper, when I decided to turn on TV. I am not a fan of TV-watching, in fact I don't do it at all for my own reasons. But it was like a voice from the inside telling me to do this. So I did it. I can't remember what the channel was, but there were a lot of smart-dressed people in a room talking about modern cinema. Most of the movies that they were referring to were mainstream popcorn flicks, such as Spiderman, Pirates of the Caribbean, Resident Evil, Transformers, etc. And those 40-50 year-old men and women were so angry and amazed by the modern cinema, that their faces were just turning red when they were spitting negative reviews of these movies. Moreover they were talking that the cinema itself, as a form of art doesn't have a future. I should say that was very funny. Serious people talking about movies for kids and teenagers and searching for deep thoughts, perfect acting abilities and intelligent screenplays. I wonder if they are familiar with movies by David Lynch, David Fincher, Nolan and Coen brothers, Emir Kusturica, Lars von Trier, Aleksandr Sokurov, Takeshi Kitano and many many other talented filmakers. Or they are so closed-minded that they watch only those movies that are being shown in the local movie-theaters...
