The state of moviemaking today shows how dead innovation has become. Unless the film can make upwards of $100 million across international distribution, it has no chance of being distributed, much less made. Trying to tell a script for adults that employs smart dialogue, unexpected plot twists, or quirky characters is a total nonstarter. Funding for those kinds of films is kaput. Instead, CGI bloodbaths sporting childish oversexualized cartoon characters that "whup up on each other" is the drek that has dominated our silver screens for over a decade.

No golden age there.

That's complete bullshit. Look outside of your bubble, you have lot of movie production in Europe, India, East Asia and none match what you describe.

It's both actually.

To clarify, while there is more "good" TV now, through a mainstream view of any platform it really does all look like the same damn crap all over the place.

Who cares what's going on in Bollywood? I want my country's film industry to make films that are fresh and culturally relevant to me.

You have no idea of what you’re talking about.

In the past year or so, from memory:

- The Father 2020

- Titan 2021

- Another Round 2020

- Charlatan 2020

- Climax 2019

All of them are European movies and have been recognized internationally. None of them are even remotely close to copying another film. You can say that you don’t like or care about these movies but there is a lot of diversity in European productions.

As an aside, you should check out "Everything Everywhere All At Once".

Those kind of movies moved to streaming platforms.
