Doesn't or didn't.

Hi! I have some questions.

1.I watched it on movie
A : you stole my moment!
B : yeah, 10 years ago
A : okay, no , but it doesn't matter to you because you had your own moment.

This is part of script, and my question is why B using "it doesn't matter" not ' it didn't matter " (I think it already happened )
Both are possible? Doesn't and didn't? ?

2. I want to explain something to someone and which one is better??

A : this movie is so sad and I saw it.......
B: this movie was so sad and I saw it......

Thank you so much.

2. Use a capital letter at the start of a sentence. Put a comma after "sad". Probably you can use either tense, but it may be better to make two s
