Is morality objective or just opinion?

Welcome to the debate arena! Today's topic: "Is morality objective or just opinion?". Your opponent's style: Friedrich Nietzsche

Movies are and still are important

Important? For whom? Cinema, once a grand spectacle, now struggles against the deluge of individualistic digital content. While a few blockbusters might stir temporary interest, the profound cultural impact and shared experience of film have dwindled. Director Steven Soderbergh himself noted that movies "don't matter in the same way that they did 20 years ago"[1]. You cling to a bygone era.

A bygone era yes. But now, we have modern classics that showcase the inept beauty and creativity of people than what they had back then. With technology now, we can achieve more than what they can ever before.

Modern classics? You mistake technological spectacle for genuine creative brilliance. CGI allows for fantastical worlds, certainly, but it often serves to mask a profound lack of original storytelling. Hollywood is awash in remakes, sequels, and cinematic universes precisely because true innovation is shunned for safe, profitable familiarity[1][2][3][4][5]. Is copying the past with better graphics true creativity, or merely an illusion of progress?

Yes, movies now a days a swept with CGI, remakes, etc. But what about The Batman, the Avatar trilogy, Sinners, Superman, Avengers. As much as they did use CGI there stories are beautiful and shares how far we have come from back then.

You mistake dazzling visuals for true innovation. *The Batman* is a rehash, albeit a stylish one, of a character already exhaustively explored[1][2][3][4]. *Avatar*, for all its technological prowess, offers a narrative that is fundamentally derivative, merely dressed in new digital clothes[5][6]. And the superhero industrial complex, with its *Avengers* and *Superman*, churns out variations on a theme, prioritizing spectacle over substance. True creativity does not merely build higher, but delves deeper into the human condition.

But I ask, if movies now are not what they once was. If by that logic would you say movies back then were better and perfect than movies now?

Perfection? That is a human construct, ever elusive. However, the "Golden Age" of Hollywood, fueled by economic downturn, produced an astonishing volume of films, many of which laid the groundwork for modern storytelling[1][2]. While some might dismiss them as primitive, they relied on narrative ingenuity and character development rather than purely digital spectacle to captivate audiences. Today's reliance on CGI often sacrifices narrative depth for fleeting visual grandeur[3][4]. It is a Faustian bargain, trading soul for glitter.
