I don't understand how you seem to have no problem to say "2049 is obviously the superior movie". In the end your opinion is still an opinion, and your opinions warps your perception of reality. I prefer the vibrant, dusty, chaotic mood of the first one rather than the minimalistic and controlled approach of the second. The town is much more interesting to me in the first than in the second movie, and that's not due to nostalgia.

I frankly find the idea that nostalgia is warping your perception of reality to be funny; aren't your tastes doing the same, and what about your whole brain ?

We are talking about a cultural entity, it's not like if we had the ability to talk without any bias.

I would say the majority of people who are younger when given the opportunity to watch both will share the same opinion as me.

It could be my perception is warped. All humans are biased and delusional but those who can't admit their bias are more biased then those who can.

>I frankly find the idea that nostalgia is warping your perception of reality to be funny; aren't your tastes doing the same, and what about your whole brain ?

Just talk to a bunch of young people. You realize a ton of zoomers don't give a shit about star wars? They really don't get it at all. Millennials all generally get why it's big.

Go even further back talk to older people and they like stuff that's ludicrously bad. Hitchcock for example while classic, has not aged well at all. I get scared easily by scary movies and I just laughed at Hitchcock stuff. It was the first of it's time, but story telling like technology has improved.

If you find all of this funny. If you refuse to believe that we all can have our perceptions warped by nostalgia, then I am telling you. The warping of your perception by nostalgia is so strong that you can't even admit that this phenomenon which is so obvious to most people even occurs.

You didn't understand me properly/something was elliptical in what I said.

I am not refusing to believe our perceptions can be warped by nostalgia. I said that our perception was warped anyway and I explained why "X is obviously the better movie" is a nonsense sentence.

That's absurd to imply I am nostalgic about a movie made about 20 years before I was born, even I prefer that one to the new one.

I continue to prefer that one over the new one even when I know more people of my age prefer the new one.

When you say "Hitchcock has not adged well at all" (which I disagree), aren't you simply telling that you are unable to enjoy things that are not a part of a current story-telling/technology "trend" ?

I do enjoy old things mainly because it brings some sort of fresh breeze to the current aesthetics of cinema. Old things are new to me.

One of my favorite musical composition of all time was written about 300 year ago; implying by this that my mind is warped by nostalgia and that I'm biased is pure nonsense.

Music has changed, but I reject the idea you implied that this change is an " improvement"; I don't think art is improvable stricto-sensus.

There's a term for your peer group. Young people who like old stuff. Do you listen to vinyl records as well? The term is "hipster". I don't know if that words is widely used anymore.

Also, for having watched star wars recently I must say that I "don't give a shit about [it]". I don't think my age has something to do with it.
