Whenever I watch old movies the characters always have a different tone than they have now. It seems to have changed somewhere from the 2000s. Is it just me or did something change?

    Aside from the Mid-Atlantic accent, it’s also just microphones and recording technology has gotten much better.

    I know Robert Altman revolutionized a lot of how dialogue in movies is recorded, out of necessity for how he was setting up some of his shots (multi-tracking because people are talking over each other, etc.)
