“And the pacing of films before 1970 is “too slow” for the millennials.”

And yet, Casablanca moves pretty rapidly. New twists and characters are added throughout the film that keep the viewer interested.

I love this movie. It’s a step above some other good ones of the era, in my opinion (and that’s what counts in this thread.)

#35 “And the pacing of films before 1970 is “too slow” for the millennials.”

I was watching Star Wars Return of the Jedi from 1983 and the pacing was just right. Dialog where they had conversations. Just enough action and not endless action.

Now contrast that with the last several Star War films. Just a blur of action with too much going on along with horrible acting and dialog.

Hollywood needs people who are older to do the writing and have interacted with real people and not just have virtual friends on Facebook etc.
