Modern Hollywood movies have a problematic relationship with the 80s. They gush over vibrant set design, vintage cars, and tight denim, but oppose the social culture that made the 80s so memorable.
You might ask, how do they do that?
Mainstream Hollywood filmmakers attempt to recreate our beloved era through the lens of post-millennial sociopolitical vantage points. But let's be honest, the 80s is a far cry from the sensitivity Gestapo that dominates sensationalized sociopolitics in mainstream media.
What does that mean?
It means that post-millennial 80s films don't look, sound, or feel the way the 80s actually looked, sounded, or felt. This revisionism affects the film's context, script, dialogue, and characters. You see this in infamous remakes of the Ghostbusters, Valley Girl, and even television shows like Stranger Things.
It's a subtle revision of recent history, but a revision nevertheless. The irony is that audiences love the 80s because it rejects the sociopolitical shackles of the post-millennial era and embraces the rebel persona, aka freedom. You can read more about the 80s versus post-millennial films here.
We are disrupting 80s revisionism to unleash the 80s in its pure, undiluted form.
Help take back the 80s from the 80s revisionist injustice.
