I've said it and I say it again, most or some of the reasons why it looks weird to us (people who grow up with a TV) come down to camera quality.

Most TV camera setups were about lighting and the needed amount.

Since a few years cameras are so good, we have almost real blacks and real whites sometimes even in the same frame and its naturally filmed and does not look like total shit. We have crazy aperture sizes and we use them and there is the often coitized gaussian/blur backgrounds. We have very sharp images even with very bad lightning conditions so some movies are very dark.

I think like the younger ones are already very used to it and wonder about "how odd old films look".
