A friend teaches English in south east Asia. His younger students refuse to watch any movies from before ~2010, saying they are too old and slow. I think the focus on remakes is an attempt to capture this market that would otherwise not bother watching older content.

I sorta feel like it’s a huge oversight to believe that movies are watched for their technical achievements, rather than the people and ideas in them. But my dad was into cinema so showed me tons of old film when I was a kid. Charlie Chaplin is still hilarious.
