If you watch old movie, you start to understand the modern CGI produced movies are having a problem of the movie makers cannot decide what they want to tell the audience, and they start to throwing as much staff on screen and hope they can appeal to most of the people.

In addition to the splash of pixels and colors, the dialogue is hard to follow in modern films, google "modern film voice is hard to hear" you'll see that's a common complaint.

The last batch of movies that do not suffer these are LOTR trilogy, and the matrix (not the sequels). Then from then, I cannot recall any film that has a clear idea and is keen to focus on the idea and develop the film accordingly.

I have noticed re: the speaking that they no longer allow space to happen between lines of dialog. For example Char A speaks and B replies in like... what 100 milliseconds? Then back to A then C then B in rapid succession. Enough time to hear, but not enough time to understand with my slow processor.

As a result, I've started watching everything with English subtitles on so I can fully understand what is happening. Not just Trainspotting any longer, but run-of-the-mill Hollywood schlock that should be in my wheelhouse. :-D

This is something that drives me crazy. A B and C are talking with no single hesitation, then D who come from nowhere and didn't follow the conversation already know what to reply to everyone.

I watched Twin Peaks for the first time only 2 years ago during covid lock down. It was refreshing to watch something at much lower pace.
