Ex-Hollywood Writer: Why Modern Movies Suck

Andrew Klavan expresses his disappointment with modern movies, pinpointing two key factors behind their decline: the natural life cycle of art forms and the prevalence of “wokeness” ideology. In Klavan’s view, the lackluster narratives in movies stem from an excessive focus on power, neglecting the exploration of spiritual depth. He observes a growing disconnect between Hollywood and the general public, coupled with a erosion of moral values. Klavan argues that the concentration of power among elites contributes to the deterioration of art forms. He nostalgically longs for older movies that celebrated strength and independence. Moreover, Klavan emphasizes the profound impact of storytelling on shaping values, expressing a strong desire for movies that embrace transcendent values and faith.
