    If anything, movies have less backstory today than back then, not more. They jump right into the action, foregoing character and plot development.

      I think that’s the real problem, they often shove tragic, supposedly heavy backstories on us with no time devoted to actually developing it and giving them weight- we are TOLD to care, instead of given actual reason to. If the movie can’t invest in their backstory, why should I?
