At the beginning of the decade, everyone's interest had turned to 3D depictions of cinematic films. You will remember, of course, the related glasses, which allowed us to experience a three-dimensional world. Several years later, the world of cinema has left all this magic behind, and now it has turned with certainty to streaming. The question now is whether this up-and-coming mode of transmission will continue to hold the reins just as dynamically until the end of the decade, or will it prove to be a "failure" as 3D films turned out to be? No one can answer for sure, so let's enjoy steaming and time will tell.
The speed of developments is lightning fast and the above fact confirms this, clearly emphasizing the fluidity of things. One is the essence, cinema as an art related to its time, listens, participates in the various changes, follows them and finally adapts. Television is not the modern cinema, and clearly cinema should not become television to stand. Just think that Marvel has managed to incorporate a television storytelling model with great success mainly in the proceeds.
Today, despite the influence that people and the arts receive from social media, there are still films that have to offer us on a personal and social level. These are addressed to the average person, testing his limits. They have nothing to envy from old great successes, and with confidence they can noticeably declare their presence.

Inception (2010)
Christopher Nolan's creation unexpectedly welcomed the first year of the decade, temporarily raising the expectations of the overproduction audience. Fascinating plot with fantastic scripted maneuvers, anatomy of dreams, innovative introduction of a new for the time of cinematic time. Nolan's entire film is reminiscent of a constant struggle to overturn time. At the heart of it is a troubled soul in inertia, as well as the immediate need for intervention by friendly individuals to return to action. And that's the nicest secret spot in the film.
The Act of Killing (2012)
The Act of Murder, a film awarded by the British Academy and nominated for an Oscar. The films storied is unfolded when the main protagonist Angoir, being a murderer, is called upon to recreate the murders as if he is playing in the cinema. Gradually we notice that the imitation of the act subsides, and its place is taken by an excellent gangster musical form. The film keeps viewers on their toes, as they are asked to recognize where imitation stops and reality begins.
The Master (2012)
The film takes place at the end of the Second World War. The director presents the need for any form of collective integration such as group, family, religion, society. The protagonist Joaquín Phoenix outlines the profile of a young man of the time who seeks acceptance and security, which he finds in the controversial personality of Philip Simur Hoffman, an innovative preacher for the time. It is based on a Scientology reasoning, where we do not understand what the end and the beginning in a story that could never have existed.
A Touch of Sin (2013)
From the documentaries, Zhang Ke with a sense of sin takes the next step in fiction. This particular film takes place and comments on the frayed form of China. It is the unfolding of four different stories for revenge. Blood-soaked scenes with adventure and violence lead to grotesque paths. At the same time, immersive images of contrasts present China's unsettled state from a cinematic perspective.
Boyhood (2014)
Boyhood took 12 long years and just 39 shootings to complete. Fortunately, the result proved to be a masterpiece, thus justifying the long delay. This is by far the most beautiful coming-of-age story that has been presented on our screens. There is an opportunity to reminisce about our own teenage years. At the same time, it troubles us about life, companionship and the passage of time in a simple way, sensitivity and humor. All the above are presented through images warm with humanity, truth and tenderness.
The Revenant (2015)
Return is a story of survival and revenge, which managed to take three golden globes and be nominated for twelve Oscars. Harsh realistic scenes of savagery and parallel beauty take place in the North of America of the 19th century. Characteristic is the figure Leonardo Di Converto, in which the intense need for revenge that comes in conflict and exceeds death is outlined, even if the chances of survival are against him.
Moonlight (2016)
The film is set in Miami, America and plays childhood and parenting a child in the world of violence, drugs, and poverty. Nominated for 6 Oscars, while also winning a golden globe for best dramatic touching content. A story of personal search shows us the face of modern America.
Blade Runner 2049 (2017)
A sci-fi film unites earth with space when four anthropomorphic aliens come to earth to find the human scientist who created them. A futuristic depiction of the future through a dark atmosphere. The excellent choice of music captivates the listener in the bleak tomorrow, where the machines surpass the human existence.
Parasite (2019)
Human forms of parasites come out of obscurity in the light of society. Bong Joon Ho's particular creation is an attractive mix of cinematic genres, combining one adventure and a comedy of revenge on the other.
The Irishman (2019)
Scorsese, with Shutter Island, opened the decade with a ghost story. 2019 closes the decade with the now spectacular real story of the Irishman. A middle-aged protagonist, haunted by his non-negotiable past and struggles every night with his fears, trying to find an answer to the pained because of his discredited daughter. Something that will never be given where it should be.
