Streaming has profoundly transformed cinematic art in the following ways:Shifted from theatrical spectacle to intimate, home-viewing experience, encouraging more character-driven, dialogue-heavy, and experimental narratives.
Enabled longer runtimes, bolder artistic risks, and unconventional structures (e.g. 3+ hour films, anthology series, slow cinema).
Democratized access to diverse voices, international cinema, and auteur works that previously had limited distribution.
Blurred boundaries between film and television—many “movies” now exist as streaming originals with series-like depth.
Changed visual language: less reliance on explosive spectacle, more focus on mood, texture, and subtle performances optimized for smaller screens.
While some argue it has diluted cinematic grandeur, streaming has ultimately expanded the formal and thematic possibilities of moving-image storytelling.https://www.nytimes.com
