Why Did the Golden Age of Original Cinema End?

Is the golden age of cinema over? We live in a time where more movies and TV shows are being made than ever before. However, fewer and fewer original movies are making a cultural impact nowadays. But why? This video, which is obviously an opinion piece, breaks down how the movie industry has shifted in the past 30 years. It seems as if, creatively, we are still living off the fumes of the 1990s, with more reboots, remakes and sequels being made from this golden era of original cinema. The nineties was filled with classics from every genre, like Home Alone, Jurassic Park, Toy Story, The Matrix, Fight Club, The Usual Suspects, The Silence of the Lambs, Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, The Big Lebowski, Fargo etc. Auteur directors like Quentin Tarantino and the Coen Brothers emerged, while other directors like Steven Spielberg and Martin Scorsese thrived. It's the era that made Julia Roberts, Tom Hanks, Brad Pitt, Leonardo DiCaprio, Macaulay Culkin and many more legitimate movie stars that have stood the test of time. So why did the 1990's golden age of original cinema have to come to an end? This video explains all.
