Not a nostalgia fest


One of the things I enjoyed about this films is that it's not a nostalgia fest. Far too often with films set in the recent past especially the 1970s or 1960s, there is a tendency to pack the soundtrack with lots of golden oldies. The Tom Hank's movie Forrest Gump immediately springs to mind.

Yes, though with Forrest Gump, that was sort of the point.

Weird the Christmas music had that exact effect on me.

Music was more unique which was fine.

reply

Good point, I liked the setting and music better than the movie, which I thought was irrelevant, depressing and stupid. Why make a movie about two losers where there was no story but how much of loser they both were?
