Has Cinema Reached Its Evolutionary Peak?

[@MisterKS7643]

What's interesting to me is how much of a contrast between older and contemporary filmmaking. Older films rely more on methods used more in theaters and plays due to limited resources. Nowadays, there seems to be more tools to immerse you into the world of the film. I think what evolves is the realism of the things we'd never thought of seeing with technology, i.e. LotR, Avatar, while keeping what makes them charming in the first place. Cinema at its root is to make you believe in the story the filmmakers are telling, even when there are lots of flaws in the screenplay. As humanity evolves, who knows they'd shoot a movie in outer space (or a different dimension for that matter)?

Yeah, fully agree. At the end of the day Cinema is visual story telling and what really matters is the verisimilitude.

It’s an interesting question but I suspect people have been saying the same thing for 100 years. I like your optimism about how the media could evolve. You say you’ve not been to film school but you’re clearly passionate about it, so sign up for a course that interests you 😀 Good luck Good Sir 👍

just yesterday i was thinking of this topic, most story is about the hero's journey. I think only experimental films will be new in the future. I think there are well made films and there are films that blow your mind. After we experience a lot of movies we understand that we don't get our mind blown by upcoming similar experiences. I may be wrong but that's how i feel about it. If am wrong i would be happy as i can enjoy more movies.

Experimentation has been happening since the very beginning but you're probably right much less mind blowing films will come out in the future. It will be much more subjective to our personal taste than an objective or a universally loved film.
