Great screenplays diminished with the advent of mass media . . .

Anotherwords, people (writers, audiences, directors) read less and less literature. The written word lost its power and influence over people as our society became less dependent on reading for pleasure. As pop culture further developed, with the aid of broadcast media, our collective attention span shortened to the point of needing immediate punch-lines for gratification. Developing characters, atmosphere, and worthwhile plots became too tedious for writers and directors to deliver to an easily distracted audience.
