The opening lines to The Greatest Love of All will serve as well as anything from Leaves of Grass. One lesson of 2025 may be that only younger people – children in particular – can save cinemas from imminent annihilation. You had an example of this in 2025 with screenings of Paul Thomas Anderson’s One Battle After Another in 70mm film and VistaVision 35mm film. Who do you think has been occupying most cinemas seats over the past 12 months? A Minecraft Movie is only a little short of that sum.
