I vaguely recall some Orson Welles quote about an Italian director from (I think) the 1950s. It was something like this,

"I watched the woman on screen walk away from the camera up a long straight street going over the hill. And I said, 'Surely this director won't film her walking all the way up that hill' But he did! The whole street! It was endless! And then he let the camera linger on the empty street after she was over the hill! Only this director would do such thing. No one else would dare."

Some people like slow movies. Most do not.

Thankfully we now have fast-forward buttons on our home viewing machines. We’ll make the edits the filmmakers should have!

Gee, I wonder where the word "movies" comes from.

Could it be the word "MOVE". /s

If the public wants to see a story that takes place on 1 or two sets, they will go to a play.
