"The absence of limitations is the enemy of art."

With the continued slide of what's acceptable on screen I feel that we've lost an important caveat to film making. The more brash and uncensored film making becomes, the more that I see it losing some of its basic creativity. Where as directors and writers had to pick and choose where they could put a bit of scandilous content, now they take it for granted. Violence, and dramatic moments in some newer films lack the bombastic impact that they did in the golden era.

This isn't an all new films are bad thread, cause that'd be a lie. What I'm saying is that the restrictions placed so that films couldn't constantly show what they wanted, forced film makers to get creative in ways that they wouldn't now. And it also gives moments that would have zero impact in one of today's films, a stronger hit, a real sense of feeling.

What those who haven't watched the earlier era of cinema tend to forget is how much weight little things can carry. How drastic the swing can be from moments that would never even touch the audiences heart in a film full of extravagant moments. In a way, we get further from an artistic purity as we get closer to seeing everything on screen.

How do you feel about this /film/?

Do you know this isn't exactly a new idea in any art?

It's a well-known idea but still interesting. The Five Obstructions demonstrates this concept in action: https://uloz.to/!wf99VyiL/the-five-obstructions-jorgen-leth-lars-von-trier-2003-avi

As for other examples, I don't like neo-noir or proto-noir as much as regular 40s noir. The atmosphere just feels wrong without the Hays Code pushing out a lot of lasciviousness. I think the main characters were sleazier in the novels than in the films. Maybe that works better the page. In the films it can be too distracting.

This guy kinda does sound like a hipster though. It's not fair to compare todays work with stuff that was made decades ago. The technology of filmmaking is much more advanced, and it's run by corporations. Corporations don't give a fuck about art, all they care about is making $. Everything else is secondary.

Personally, art shouldn't have limitations and should always push boundaries. Who's fault is it that the majority of producers are creating lame shit with excessive sex and violence? People are buying it, so who's really to blame?
