Why do 90s movies give a dark and dreary vibe that can't be replicated in modern movies?
>>
>>69869971
digital photography has ruined everything

The Crow is a shit movie btw

>>69870051
I know, but I still enjoy watching it.

90s were pure edge. Trenchcoat and katana edge. Attitude era edge. Sadly we are now supossed to be "mature" enough not to like edge.
>>
>>69869971
90s is modern you spastic
>>
>>69870330
No it isn't.

>>69870461

America was a slightly grittier and dirtier place than today during the 70s, 80s, and 90s. And it reflects in the aesthetic of lots of movies from those 30 years.

After 9/11 happened things suddenly changed for some reason.

Different trends in set design. Also I've noted that current films often have really bright, even lighting while older movies have tons of contrast and large cast shadows everywhere.
>>
>>69871085
I'm not saying it's not OK to like it for what it is.
But if you're seriously telling me that you think the Crow is a good film then you need to get your fucking head checked.
>>
>>69871241
I bet you only watch films with 8.0+ on IMDB, you elitist cock head.
>>
>>69871290
>look up top rated movies on imdb
>half of them are some mudshit bangladesh pajeetathons that nobody heard of
IMDB was a mistake.
>>
>>69871383
>nobody has heard of it
>it's a foreign film
>it has to be bad

We felt the need to make ourselves looks cleaner, and therefore safer. That's why all we see anymore is capeshit and remakes, we never got out of the idea that safe=good.
>>
>>69871483
Pajeet my son, there is no need to be mad.
>>
>>69871085
It is though

Cardboard characters, hilariously bad dialogue, and it wears out its welcome about an hour in. Darkman is far, far better
>>
>>69871684
you didn't understand the film at all did you?
>>
>>69871720
>the "you just don't get it, do ya?" argument
Okay, exactly what deep and meaningful shit did I miss?

Same with your arbitrary buzzwords.
>>
>>69871785
This looks like absolute shit.
>>
>>69871859
I'm still waiting
>>
>>69872095
I didn't say it was deep and meaningful you fucking autist. I said 'cardboard characters', 'bad dialogue' and 'wearing out its welcome' are buzzwords that have no real critical analysis behind them.
>>
>>69872141
You didn't say any of that, you didn't even imply it. All you said was "you didn't get it" faggot

>cardboard characters
One-dimensional, not interesting, whatever the fuck you want to call it. Self-explanatory

>bad dialogue
exactly how is this a buzzterm? The scene where he quotes Edgar Allan Poe is laughable

>wearing out its welcome
It's a repetitive film, there's only so much "Ima get muh revenge" one can watch before it becomes boring.

Chill out with your projection, sperglord.
>>
>>69870826
Not if you're 20 years old, no.

>>69872009

Same director as The Crow.

The matrix was accused of ripping off dark city but they were in development around the same time and dark city beat it to the box office by a year.
