Or theatre? Not really. Some people consider film is art. I don't, it hasn't been in my lifetime. But if you do, why shouldn't it follow a strict format? Likewise for classical music and painting. It's always been about a format that people like (or is deemed acceptable), and still is.If you don't like the strict format, then you go to "alternative" film and music and art. The structured and the loose can coexist no problem.
