Folks also complain about modern movies being bad while only being aware of like 1% of fairly major ones that came out in the most recent year. There are so many likely-to-be-good movies every year that I can’t keep up, personally. Or they have very narrow tastes, and it’s like… ok yes since you dismiss 95% of all film for one reason or another (“I don’t like subtitles”, “I don’t like horror”, “this is too artsy”, et c), that only left a couple good movies for you this year.

Yes the general public often complains about lack of diversity then refuses to watch anything that doesn’t have a Hollywood star-actor.
It is what it is.
People will watch 1960s French movies and praise them “How wonderful etc”, “they don’t make movies like that anymore!” but if you tell them to watch French movies of the 2020s or more famously Korean movies and TV shows a lot of people won’t budge, even though Korea is clearly the alternative powerhouse in the industry right now and the “equivalent” let’s say to the French New Wave.
