...and today´s films are mostly addressed to people not so well endowed in that territory...As I have repeatedly said, a wise use of ellipsis makes the viewer fall deeper, and participate, in what is being showed at the screen, thus making it happen where it matters, inside himself. And nowadays, that art is not being cultivated, in the same way good oldstyle cooking has been sacrificed at the altars of the gods of Fast Food: people eat, and get fat..., without actually enjoying any true palatial pleasures.
Ditto for sex scenes, where a good, poignant dialogue can easily carry the viewer to heights a nude couple never will: as a good case, just look at "Key Largo", and enjoy those exchanges between Bacall and Bogie...
Elegance consists in achieving the most using the minimum, exactly the opposite to showing too much, and just achieving boredom.
Of course, no Faulkners, no Trumbos, no Hetches among today´s script writers...
And about violence, what was somehow innovative in Peckinpah has now been abused to a degree that it has become simply boring: there´s much more, and truer, violence, in just the way a Kurosawa´s character looks at the camera than in a whole film by Tarantino..., and "Kill Bill (1, 2, 3, n...)" are simply shit when compared to any scene in "Ran", "Throne of Blood", "Jojimbo"...
Our loss, indeed.
