The older you get the more you find
that you still like going the movies
but modern Hollywood franchise films
fill up far too many screens
and they lack the depth of character
that you knew films used to have;
the franchise is a sealed world
that denies the viewer
the most creative conflicts
because the viewer is younger.
What pleases you instead are slow documentaries
where some real life subject from the recent past
is explored in all their conflicts and resolve
to survive as themselves, against the odds.
