  Is a movie that came out 23 years ago still modern?

    Yes, the word we are searching for is contemporary. Technically all films are modern, but not contemporary. Though modern has expanded definition to include it generally as well but I like to explore language :)

    Time for me to find a nice, cool porch to die under.

    It came out after ~1800, so yes.

  I mean it was filmed 25 years ago, I guess it depends on your definition of ‘modern’

    Can confirm. I was an extra in these movies and now I’m on first name terms with all the local osteopaths.

    Filmed 25 years ago

    I don’t want to believe this…

  What do you mean? Of course it isn’t a modern movie, it was filmed during the Third Age.

  To me, modern says more about the techniques and methods used. In that respect, not much has changed even though 25 years has passed. Even stylistically it is more similar to a current film than one filmed 25 years before its release, i.e. mid 1970s. As someone else said, contemporary is a better word for describing its age than modern.

    Tbh you could argue the techniques created for the lotr films set the standard for the current era of filmmaking

      Props and makeup instead of full cgi?

      source

      • 9point6@lemmy.world ⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        Actually funnily enough the CGI is one of the biggest areas they innovated in, in addition to the great practical effects

        Look up Peter Jackson’s Weta workshop, a lot of the stuff that’s commonplace in cinema today has its origins there for the LotR films

  I think by modern, they mean pre-2010
