We can probably say that it is not that easy to become/write a classic. Just as writing a real hit song is no save thing either. Otherwise everyone would do it 😉

But I am also wondering, if you might need to be in kind of a classical era to create classics. I think, we are currently not in a classical era. We were in the second half of the last century. But we left that step by step since the beginning of this one. Something got lost in the transition from making movies to creating content.
It is in a way similar with classical music. The eara of classical music which ended more or less with Beethoven afterwards generated a lot of famous music from famous composers. But who can hum a tune from Stravinsky’s Firebird?
Maybe there are eras for classics, eras for avantgarde and postmodern eras of formal reproduction like today.
Today the success of music or movies seems by 90% to be a matter of marketing, but neither quality nor originality. It is kind of an intersting highly productive era, that seemingly will leave hardly anything, that will be considered “Classics”.
Just a spontanious thought of mine. Not sure if there is any truth in this or if it is complete bullshit. But it kind of resonates with me.
