I wouldn't call them outdated, but there is that sensation I get that I am watching an old film... old in the sense that it was made before the real discoveries.

I saw Mr. Deeds just a few days ago, and I had the feeling I, as a viewer, was considered a child by the director.

I don't know if this is the artifact of the era bigone, when the movies were still a relatively new media, and the directors didn't quite know how to handle the public, and tried to err on the side of naivite.

As I mentioned - I get none of that while watching L'Atalante.
