Ethan Hawke has chastised young people for “not watching more movies” in a new interview.Speaking to MovieMaker, the actor said he can’t understand why they aren’t watching more movies at a time when they are readily available on streaming platforms.He told the publication: “The thing that I don’t understand — and this makes me sound old — but what I don’t understand about young people today is why they don’t watch more movies.“I mean, they’re perfectly willing to binge watch, for weeks of their life, something they know is really super okay, and the Criterion Channel is right there. Like, they could be watching Badlands as we speak,” he told the publication.He also went on to say that he thinks there is a lack of education surrounding great filmmakers.“They don’t know who Fassbinder is and they don’t know who Éric Rohmer is and they don’t know who Kurosawa is.
