There is no Moore’s law in art. Things are not getting better, they are simply reflecting the current ideas and trends of our time, often using universal human themes.

This is also what makes films from the past so interesting. It’s literally time travel. There’s no better way to learn where we’re going than seeing where we’ve been. It’s like a backtest for the stock market of human culture.

I feel sorry for anyone who lacks the ability or curiosity to detach themselves from the zeitgeist.
