Movies are shot on video and edited like music videos these days. We are in a post cinema age with people watching outside the box.
And the “evolved” and “tolerant” audiences are put off by black and white films. And they’ll tell you the old kind of movies are too slow and BORING.

Most movies spanning the entire history of motion picture are slow and boring :-). Seriously, look at the number of releases per year and look at the number of good ones. A very low percentage are “good” ... most are trash :-).
I do know people that won’t watch an older film because they think they are all boring and slow ... its their loss really :-).
I see it as a symbol of generic male immaturity - like the guys over 18 who go out in public (or worse, on dates) wearing shorts and sandals with baseball caps on backwards. They appear to be the target audience for these films. :)
