Why does she always criticise modernity?

I agree with her whole heartedly. She is from "The Golden Era" of Hollywood. Maybe there are some negative things about the "Studio System" that were not all that great; but they knew how to make movies and create stars. Each star did have their own "distinct" personality.
Besides today, everything is CGI's and comic book characters. They have no writers with any imagination or talent at all. They could not come up with an original idea no matter how hard they try. Besides the CGI's all they do are remakes. They do not improve on them in any way at all. They did remakes back in the day but they were made better or improved upon.
Besides studio heads in the good old days were visionaries with know-how re film making. Today Hollywood is run by business executives that care only about box-office. -

I feel that styles took a bad trashy turn when Madonna 1st came on the scene. She was gutsy to dress the way she did to make people stand up & notice ( and make her $$ for it too! ) But, it's been a downward spiral ever since, I'm ready for a new trend towards classy fashions. Sick of seeing women's butt cracks when they bend over & men in baggy hobo, slob clothes pu!
Who are these so-called designers we are making rich? -

Good question. She made some now often quoted remark about stars not being what they used to. Personally, I never thought her to be a great actress mediocre at best I think most of her peers felt the same way. For all her films her performances were never really acclaimed. IMO, it's ironic for that remark to come from her when she was basically an appendage of Bogart.
