Another thing is people will say "there are lots of good films-if you look beyond North America and Europe and Hollywood" but that is the problem. Why should European and Western film be so bad?
Unless there is some scientific analysis that proves people are less creative now than decades ago there is something seriously amiss and while the ease of modern film technology may contribute to apathy or a lack of quality control I do not think it contributes as much as centralized media ownership and decision-making increasingly in the hands of the few who seem to put social message ahead of any other concern including profit (since making profit would requite being interested in public taste).
