      @@Misora7303 Yes. My point is that the movie doesn't give any new or interesting perspective on the idea. That's not a bad thing, and the speech at the end is very nice, but the movie as a whole is more of a romp through Paris of the 1920s with "cameos" of writers and artists that we'd all love to meet. The little glimpse of Josephine Baker is a perfect example of that. Pure excitement and lots of fun, but not particularly profound. Then again, who wouldn't love to walk into a bar and see her chatting with the guests?

    Meh, and anyway, the 2010s had a lot of good stuff. Not all necessarily better than today, let me tell you, if there were a few things I could change about the 2010s I would, but there was good stuff that people are returning back to. In all honesty, I think people sped way past their time towards "better things" that were mostly just companies trying to squeeze out either as much money or admiration/retention as possible, but now that we're here, at this time and place, there's just too much work and things to do that is just impossible to both keep track of and focus down and develop it all. If anything else, it's not that life is dull, it is that it is both pointless and impossible to really do much of anything in this day and age that has a lot of restrictions attached to it.
    Everyone, do yourselves some favors, and find friends, family, and coworkers who share your passions, and then work with them to get everything done, because then everything will be better.

    Personally..i think aroubd 2010 was nice.
    Enough freedoms for everybody. None of the political bullshit of today.
    1920s and victorian era are aesthetically pleasing. But i would.not be able to live during a time period of such great inequalities...
