Contemporary films fared poorly in BBC Culture’s poll of the greatest US films: the most recent movie in the top ten is The Godfather: Part II, released 41 years ago. Only six films from the 21st Century made it into the top 100, chosen by critics from around the world. 当代电影在BBC文化专栏发起的“史上最伟大的美国电影”投票中表现不佳：前10名中，年代最近的电影是《教父：II》，该片于41年前上映;来自世界各地的评论家只挑出了6部制作于21世纪的电影入选前100名单。 Why is this? “Movie studios don’t make ground-breaking films any more,” cultural critic Noah Gittell tells Tom Brook. “There are still ground-breaking films being made, but they’re independent films. While critics may be unanimous in their praise of some of these films, they don’t impact society as a whole to the same degree that some of these older films do.” 为什么会这样?“电影制片厂不再制作那些有独创性的电影了，”文化评论员诺亚·基特尔告诉汤姆·布鲁克，“现在还是有产出一些具有独创性的电影，但那些电影都是独立电影。评论家们可能对其中一些独立电影给予一致好评，然而总的来说，那些电影无法像同等水平的老电影那样对社会产生影响。” A movie’s reach can help it move up the rankings. “If you look at the top ten movies, these are movies that for the most part impacted society all at once, collectively, and movies just don’t do that any more,” says Gittell. |
