“It isn’t the movies that are dead, but Thomson who is deadened to movies. He looks back nostalgically to a time before “the self-consciousness of disbelief,” before “undermining the innocence of sincere sentiment.” There’s still plenty of sincere sentiment in movies these days (whether in romantic comedies and melodramas or in ready-for-public-television Oscar bait), but I doubt that there was ever the innocence of his nostalgic fantasy.”
