Watch an old classic movie you have seen before
All now movies are revenge movies because someones killed a blokes wife or kidnapped his daughter
Another plot is some housewifes memory gets triggered of a past life as a secret agent and she sent out to kill the entire Mexican cartel

I watch "A few Good men" the other day, they dont make movies like that anymore


PS, every single movie you ever see will follow one of these seven plots

Overcoming the Monster. The protagonist must defeat an antagonist (usually an individual, force, or entity) that threatens them and the wider world.

Rags to Riches. ...

The Quest. ...

Voyage and Return. ...

Comedy. ...

Tragedy. ...

Rebirth.

the first on that list covers every single martial arts film ever made

Gladiator was also a stupid revenge plot. Who the fuck are they kidding when they pretended he had a good marriage.

He had been all over the fucking world with the army, he wouldnt even have had a family.

Most of these films fail to contextualise the time it took to travel anywhere

Alexander the great conquering almost the entire globe by age 23
It would have taken him longer than that just to visit everywhere let alone find time to fight battles.

Revenge movies are probably popular because the average person doesn't have the balls to take revenge so they live vicariously through a movie about it ???

90% of movies these days start with
"man seeks revenge on the cartel/gang/men who raped/murdered his wife/daughter"

Its fucking pathetic

Maybe. My take is people like seeing douche-bags get what's deserved.
Either way, they are just movies and not to be given too much thought.. Hollyweird...

Each year I watch a few academy award nominated best picture films.

Most of the "mature" ones are a fucking slag - always depressing.

I've seen Oppenheimer, Anatomy of a Fall, and The Holdovers so far.  They were decent, but I don't really enjoy ones like Anatomy of a Fall.

Best movie of the year was Across the Spider-Verse, which was f'n awesome - in storyline, dialogue, presentation, and production.

The previous movie by that director (Hereditary) was one of the best horror movies of recent years though

Probably already mentioned.

Formulaic, predictable, but entertaining.

Denzel is great but he is pushing 70 though so it's getting implausible for him to play this role.
