Most modern films are suitable only for one-time viewing. The lack of a clear storyline, logic and character development does not add to the viewing pleasure. Therefore, it is not surprising that a lot of films simply fail at the box office and are forgotten about their existence immediately after the credits appear on the screen.
In order to get interested in the picture, get carried away by the plot and empathize with the heroes, you need to watch a strong movie. But not everyone likes these pictures, since most often they are not militants, in which there are a lot of special effects, fights and so on. The best films of all time are those films that can hurt something in the soul of the viewer. Such films do not need millions of budgets.
