There are few mediums which are actually obsolete, if any. The modern mediums have only lasted around half a century each before being replaced as the dominant form, literature has gone centuries and never really been the dominant form of the masses.

Literature is the apex medium desu. The only thing potentially higher is music.

Music is the only medium that can approach the sublime. Film can combine several mediums, that's a plus. I consider the heights potentially achievable by film and literature to be relatively equal

Everything man-made is a mistake. All the form of art, things which channel the art, the beauty, are a mistake.

Film is an objectively better way to tell a story, but there will never be a movie which has the writing quality of, let's say, Faust.
It's potential is higher, but it will never truly be realized.

It's in decline, but it's got enough momentum behind it to keep it around as a relevant medium for about another century. After that comes the deluge.
