Like seriously. When did Hollywood decide it was a good idea to stop trying? The edit has always been part of the artistic filmmaking process, and to cheap out at the end game is sad. In this video, we'll discuss how to make sure that your edits are thoughtful, meaningful, and help to remind the people watching that they are alive and human. Ultimately, the goal of filmmaking is to simulate the human experience on screen in such a way that causes the viewer to feel, think, or dream something.

2. Let me you give a slightly different perspective. I can pick up a good book, open it to any page, and be immersed. It used to be that a person could enter a movie theatre at any time during the film, not needing to wait until the next séance. Before smart TV and recorded media, one often caught a film in the middle. That is the way the films you are referring to here were edited, so that a person could join at any time. Modern viewers are expected to watch from the very start, to bring certain baggage to a scene.
