The entire movie is about how each generation thinks that the time before theirs was the best. It's a great movie that puts things into perspective for those who romanticize the past so much and it's also just a wonderful movie!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15705617033790323701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2038154478964481510.post-58229894922543787772014-12-02T12:42:39.189-08:002014-12-02T12:42:39.189-08:00I really liked this post, and I agree with a lot o...I really liked this post, and I agree with a lot of the things said about the Victorian era and how in SteamPunk it is romanticized as this great time when in reality it wasn't all that great. I find it kind of funny how, like Grace stated, we love to romanticize how great ,not just Victorian times were, but other times like the 20's were. A really good example of a movie that romanticizes the roaring 20's is The Great Gatsby. I really liked both the book and the movie but I just find it so interesting that instead of living in the now we as a society romanticize the past, I feel like if we didn't do this we could be a lot more productive, looking to the future instead of the past. <br />David Hadleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12418704507951602455noreply@blogger.com
