Quality is priceless and timeless, as it can be under human condition. For a given time.
I think there are only one kind of film old or new, the good one and , sorry the bad one. In any given time. It is easier to understand.
The modern time is yesterday,and there is nothing like that. We just believe that there is one, but there is none.
But arts who speaaks to our senses and spirit, that, yes that, will always be " modern. " This is NOT to be confused with " functionality" or progress. Look at an Egyptian bust and look at Picasso´s. More it vary more it is the same. The contend is the.
Capra´s films in my view does not belong to " your " past as they carry on a kind of humanism and utopia that will always be real, and if the " transport " may shows sign of age, as do " The Rule of the Game " the inner is still fresh and always will be, as the question of the old Greek," where do we comes from, where do we go? ".
The only difference may be one of our " conditionement " our background our own sense and sensibility.
Now, dear Victor..Why are Capra´s film outdated..Hehe...
