What I think is that the entertainment "dumbs-down" too much thinking that the public only wants to see action and intimacy, and unfortunately we end up reinforcing this attitude.

I remember when 2001 came out, and the difference it made. you actually had to pay attention to try to understand, because there was not much "said".

War movies made in the 50's & 60's were more concerned about "story" than how many battle scenes can be shown within the movie.

We need to "re-learn" (or re-teach) what entertainment really is. Telling the story is really more important than what can be imaged on the screen, and sometimes our imagination is more vivid and intense than what the movie maker or special effects team dreams up.
