Is Filmmaking getting divided between film critics and the general public?
Most of the the films I enjoy are Oscar winning or nominated films. (Everything, Everywhere, All at Once/Parasite/Birdman/Babylon...)
Or popular among the other filmmakers I know.
But most films I consider great, are considered crap by the majority of people I talk to. Is there a divide between filmmakers tastes and the general public? I look at the past films that won Oscars... And they were much better recieved in the past. Films like The Departed, Titanic, Gladiator, Braveheart.... No one contests these films as being great and deserving. But the newer films, most of the people I speak with hate them.
