This is an example of the filter effect. It's like how people turn on the classic rock station where they play only classic rock hits and assume that music today is just worse - the classic rock station doesn't play the stinkers that were also on the radio and popular, so you get the illusion that classic rock has always been solid gold hits.
- coldtea 9y ago>This is an example of the filter effect. Yeah, no. There was a big counter-establishment wave in the 60s and early to mid 70s, documented in myriads of books, articles, biographies, documentaries and such. And it reflected in Hollywood too. (In European cinema it was even more extreme with every second movie having leftist leanings). Were there other, more typical/banal movies? Yes. But that critical movies were far more common in the 60s-70s than they are now is a historical fact, not some "filter effect". (Also the idea that all periods have the same median quality in arts and same distribution of tendencies is wrong. Some periods do have more/better art than others, or more art of a certain tendency than others, for various reasons).
