A lot of the best new movies feel, right at the threshold, like a throwback or a huge nod, to an old way of making movies.
I notice that a lot of those films are done as period pieces.
And I notice that a lot of those period pieces are pre-cell phone.
You can work out the syllogism from here.
Note also the preponderance of smoking; almost as if there is funding under the table going on.
Where are we at these days with "Brad Pitt is a piece of crap who abused his family and all his kids hate him" vs. "Brad Pitt is so handsome and cool that, much like Cliff Booth still being a lovable rascal despite (allegedly) harpooning his wife, women want him, men want to be him, and we forgive all Brad's sins and welcome him into our homes with open arms"? Asking for a friend.
