Movies are a medium of expression, say, like a symphony orchestra. Or like a painter's brush and canvas. The brush and canvas have been creating and presenting pictures for hundreds of years, but I haven't heard anyone say that painting was old-fashioned and have reached its limits. It's the painter-the moviemaker- the artist and the entertainer who have to be considered- not the tools of their trade. Like painting or music, it's the ideas and the material that get onto the screen that's important. Moving pictures can be and will be new and fresh and exciting as long as there are ideas and talent in the world... and there's never been any sign that creative people are disappearing from the world of entertainment. What is needed in addition to the creative ability is courage- courage to try new things, to satisfy the endless curiosity of people for information about the world around them. Movies became popular because they found new forms, created new sensations, and explored new fields of popular appeal.
