Has anyone else noticed this? It feels like any old film from the past, everyone is walking just a little too quick, things are moving just a bit too fast. Is there a reason for this?

OK, believe this if you will. The way I heard it long long ago was that when old silent movies were updated to 24 fps they did it by duplicating every other frame so where there were two frames at 16 fps there would be three for 24 fps. Hence the herky jerky look of those films. It wasn’t until electronic reprocessing came along that they could smoothly show the movies at 24 fps.
