Great examples. I generally don't watch any films made after the 90s and you don't have to be a film historian to see and understand the inculcating intent of just the standard film-making 'style' in general since then, let alone the explosion of ever-increasingly degenerate content. Funnily enough I was just reading a negative review of Saint Oppenheimer of the Oscars, and someone pointed out that early on in it, Cillian Murphy puts his hat on and there's a pause as if the audience is supposed to burst into applause.
