The downturn is exacerbated by two factors. First of all, the screenwriters have apparently either forgotten how to do it, or collectively are suffering from writer’s block. Secondly, there seems to be a dearth of good young actors/actresses. Just for fun, I searched on Google for the names of the top actors under 30. Zip, nada, zilch. I didn’t recognize one name. Next, I did the same for actresses. Scarlett Johansson was the only recognizable name.
It used to be that there were many actors/actresses made movies, great movies in their 20s. Here are some examples: Paul Newman, Sean Connery, William Holden, Charlton Heston, Jack Lemmon, Gregory Peck, Robert Redford, Kevin Costner, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, Steve McQueen, Clint Eastwood, Meryl Streep, Sandra Bullock, Renee Zellweger, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Doris Day, Grace Kelly, Elizabeth Taylor, Julie Andrews, Audrey Hepburn, Leslie Caron, Ava Gardner, Faye Dunaway, and Julie Christie. See what I mean!
The film industry has a two-pronged problem, which they’d better address or else it won’t be just a one-time summer slump.
