Most of my favorite movies I only discovered when I was an adult. I still have a childlike wonder for film, but it tends to be for older movies (which I didn't grow up with)
1998 for me. Late '90s in general, but '97 felt like the last real year to me. And this was well before the widespread use of digital cinema cameras, so I place the blame on the Internet. Everything became so samey because the Internet is just a giant echo chambers, which makes artists all try to just be the same as everything else that is popular. There have of course been some great movies since '97, but the frequency is much, much smaller.
I'm gonna be honest, they never did. The more I learn about film, the more impressed I am by it. There's magic in film. In all art, honestly. Seeing a great movie for the first time still inspires the same awe as hearing a great song for the first time.
Never? I went to see a bunch of films this year and they only reinvigorated my love for film and theatre.
John Wick 4 in particular had the best sound design I've ever heard.
Update: I turned my TV on and there's a big ad telling me that Renfield is available on Prime. I have about 2 dozen movies to watch before I get to it but I'll watch it soon then
The 10s/20s is like another world to me entirely. The 30s-50s is what the world should be. The 60s-80s is the best of a bad situation. The 90s is the beginning of the end. By the 2000s, movies have no charm, it's just the same drab shit I live every day.
When they stopped using film and went digital. Somehow the soul is in the film. I remember when I watched my first movie like that, The Hobbit. It was jarring. The magic was gone.
>cinematic mysticism
peaked in 2005 but stop going to movies around 2014.
modern movies are not worth it to pay my money going to theaters
Early 2000s
mysticism
no such thing, stop inventing your own terms
All terms are invented.
I experienced cinematic mysticism right up until the midnight premier of The Force Awakens.
2017 is when I fell out of love with the medium. It takes me watching some old to remember how much I used to love it because I genuinely forget now.
>Insert date around the time anon became an adult and started maturing and losing their childlike wonder.
Then, for everyone in this thread.

what a terrible movie
>I went to see a bunch of films this year and they only reinvigorated my love for film and theatre.
Which ones?
Sisu and Renfeld. Call me whatever you want, they were really fun films.
People like you are part of the problem.
Not really. As far as things go they were independent features.
Nah, you're a fag. Liking shit movies is what causes more shit movies to be made. KYS.
Sisu and Renfeld aren't shit movies. They're kino in their own right.

Never heard of Sisu but I have some interest in Renfield. I'll check that one out when it's available on prime for free
Update: I turned my TV on and there's a big ad telling me that Renfield is available on Prime. I have about 2 dozen movies to watch before I get to it but I'll watch it soon then
>Sisu and Renfeld reinvigorated my love for film and theatre.
Sisu was a fable brought to screen and Renfeld has Houltkino. I came for Cage, left with a morbidly depressed man fixing his life.
All films stopped looking interesting after experiencing picrel

2013
2020. Covid killed it.
The first time I saw netflix and all the movies looked like fake movies you would see on some kid's shelf in real movies.
2000. yes before lotr
mid 2010's made me cynical and disinterested in the future of movies but old stuff is still fun, especially with friends
