It’s no use. The old movies can’t compete with the modern CGI. Kids these days don’t have the attention span needed. Movies now require a shootout, car chase, or major earthwide catastrophe every five minutes.
You said a mouthful there. I'm showing The Ten Commandments to my class. They cannot watch it straight through. Sheesh!
No, it’s plenty of use. My nephew was trained early on to love silent movies as well as movies from the golden period of American filmmaking. Don’t be negative; the guy cares about his children.
“The old movies can’t compete with the modern CGI.”
Of course they can. The CGI fests are terrible overall. They pump up the sound and blur things to make sure you miss more too.
But you can make a kid sit still and get into the story, and in about 15 minutes they’ll be hooked. But you cant have your laptop open, you have to sit there with, pointing out little things you know until they ask you to quit talking.
