I think the movies were better. I think that better movies made us better. We become what we consume. We are consuming worse and worse and more of it, all the time. Seeing something on screen used to be special. Now we have screens in front of us all the time and nothing feels special. Once in a while, I see something truly great and it makes me remember when everyone was better. Sure it is our responsibility, but I also think not having better cinema is a huge part of it. And please, where are the rom coms? Does our downtime have to be so violent? It feels like part of a huger plan. And not a better one. Thank you. I really enjoyed this.
Oh my god you’re hilarious. That’s a valid point though. But I think it’s easier to know and understand someone when there’s talking but knowing in silence is on a different level.
I think one thing I've not reflected on in the post is how now, it's such a pleasure to just watch a movie at home. We have a nice screen, the heating on, our baby sleeping in the corner of the room. Why do we need to go to the cinema?
Exactly. Oh my god that’s the same set up we had back in India. Kind of like a theatre like vibe and ambience but after the relocation and move to Sweden we presently have a shit tv with horrible sounds so maybe in 2025 that will need some fixing

I agree on the fact that people don’t really admire cinema like they used to before, which is why we need to be the ones to
Watching movies is unironically one of the things that makes want to live. I'm just starting to see that again.
Oh and I used to also be a movie on the first date kinda person.
I think the argument against it is 'we won't get to talk' - which I get - but maybe as a bit of an introvert, I enjoyed the two hour buffer!

I guess a bit of both? But whenever time and mood permits maybe you can get popcorn, put on jaws again and enjoy with your wife :)
Such a beautiful post. And it’s lovely to see an old pic of Odeon. Every time I’m in London, I manage to watch one film there.
