Hollywood keeps recycling the same superhero franchises while indie films struggle to find distribution, and I think this box office dominance has quietly narrowed what we consider cinema. I've watched audiences dismiss small character-driven movies as 'boring' because they lack explosions, yet films like Parasite proved that subtitled dramas can win Oscars when given a chance. Could the industry's reliance on sequels and IP actually be a symptom of our own short attention spans, or are studios just playing it too safe with expensive bets that rarely pay off in artistic terms?
