Would people from 50 or 100 years ago like today's movies?

One of the things that I note today, as I watch films (or even TV shows) from the '50s and '60s, is just how slowly they seem to be paced, compared to modern productions. Given that, I suspect that viewers from that era would find modern films (particularly action films) to be extremely frenetic, with action sequences that are difficult to follow (lots of blur and “shaky-cam”).

I watched “the Matrix” at the theatre with my then 75 year old dad, and this is exactly how he felt.
