Dated


Watched this for the first time since release .... God it's dated terribly

reply

To expect a film made in 1976 to not be dated isn't realistic, SNF is about a culture, time, place, fashions and music of a certain time, the fact that it's dated means nothing, the movie has become a cultural iconic time capsule that documents a period in time, the 70's.

That's the good thing about film. It shows the world when it wasn't quite as stupid as it is today. 🎥

My nut sack is dated but it still gets the job done.

Well yeah....you don't see too many guys dancing like this anymore....and wearing white leisure suits. And combing their hair like that. Tell me something I don't know.

In a way, though, it's not dated: Someone feeling stuck, in a dead-end job and dysfunctional family, who wants to "break out," is very relatable.

God you must be ancient if you saw it when it was new lol

Ridiculous comment!

Films don't change...people do.

That's exactly right. It's the same with music. The music I was crazy over in the 80s sounds absurd to me now. The music stayed the same - I changed.

Plus the technology shown in the film is a product of its time Even though back then it was 'hip.

Well no shit, it was made over 40 years ago.
