I did this because I wanted to emphasize the fact that I think the future of cinema is large as well, and films will continue to evolve as humans come up with more ideas and also as the technology to make them changes. I also showed this idea by the fact that I choose to put a cutout of myself over all of the movies from this century that I decided to place on that last page.
