What's with all the accessive rack focusing in modern movies lately?

I think it todays world of constant moving images, flicking between webpages constantly, iphones always on the go it's used as much to keep people's mental attention focused on the screen and the action as much as it is to focus attention on specific objects.
 
I guess so. Maybe director's feel pressured that they have to do it cause the audiences demand it.

I don't get why a lot of people think that deep focus looks like home video though. Deep focus was invented when movies first came out, so it's a cinema thing. That's like saying movies should be shot in black and white, so they don't look like home video, even though color film was invented way before home video as well.

easy answer. It's the newest technical hype everyone does, like the shaky cam. It will die out and tone down, like every other technical wankery of the past.
