That was only the case for NYC where it was like modern day Baltimore in the 70s.

A lot of modern behavior seems to be dumbed down to solely "good" and "bad", you'll even see directors and screenwriters who claim to write above pop culture movies, referring to their own characters as "the good/bad guys" as if that wasn't the most simplistic way of viewing something. Sure, such logic could be applied to Indiana Jones, Star Wars, those sort of movies. In E.T. there's clearly "good" and "bad" guys.
Point is, a lot of people now read the presence of anything negative as "bad", not as negative. Hookers in movies aren't understood as "that is a city going through some economic crisis", they're understood as "the director agrees with the sexualization of women like that"
It can be really hard to produce a piece of art with proper social commentary nowadays because of this mentality, it's social erasure in the name of representation. A movie about a black man who's father left him and he had to learn how to be a man by himself and not repeat that behavior would never get made today because it wouldn't be understood as "that young man broke the cycle", it would be understood as "that's a movie that portrays black people negatively"

I was solicited by a hooker once on the road and didn’t even realize until I later told my wife about the weird woman who wanted a ride across the street.

It would never get made because audiences would never see it as believable.

Big thing for me is that modern films will fetishize the ww2 generation and the 40s/50s but then you watch a film made in the 1970s and it's like nobody gives a shit about ww2. Like the majority of the older people you see in those films were probably ww2 vets and they get treated as just another jobber. Also surprising to see how dirty and filthy everything was especially in nyc films.

NYC was terrible pre-Giuliani, and it's heading back there quickly.

At least they know to behave. When I went to Berlin as a 11yo kid, some hooker pressed her tits against the passenger seat car window right in front of me during a red light. My dad was driving and my mother was sitting in the back.
It was awesome but not exactly appropriate
