I was just watching Dr No and Goldfinger. It got me thinking. While the stories might be good, a lot of what happens inside just doesn't feel real. The fights scenes are faked and the cinematography is often cheesy. I feel in some scenes they hadn't thought through exactly what was happening.
Now it would be somewhat irrational to conclude that people back then didn't have the same acting/film skills that we have now. They obviously were still humans and the actors had high levels of skills. Was it then that people had different expectations from what they watched? Today it appears everything has to be realistic. People demand it. If a director can't make something look real then more often than not it is not put into the film.
Does anyone have experience with this? I must confess I am not a film buff, but could someone who does watch a lot of movies, works in the industry or maybe studied it in university comment on this?
Or am I just a young guy that just doesn't get "it"
