These days, kids identify them by the aspect ratio.

      Especially in action scenes. I used to watch Hawaii five O the 2010 version and sometimes a chanal showed the old version with the same name, the are so incredibly different in pacing and the amount of violence. I really liked the old one in that regard, much less shooting and blood.

      I sometimes watch old movies and it gets infuriating how long they talk around the same fact that everyone already agrees on. Yes, he was killed with a knife because it’s still stuck in his head, now move on!

        The pacing of the oldest movies comes from the theater. Watch a live play and it will seem well paced and ‘natural.’ Fast cuts from TV ads made people want a faster pace in television shows. Back in the day, ‘Miami Vice’ was cutting edge because they were the speediest.
