One thing that bothered me...


The 2nd interviewer that Ben met with. She acted like she was completely oblivious to how the world worked before modern technology.


When Ben said that he worked with making telephone books, she acted so surprised and said "Do they still make telephone books? Don't people just google things now?"

...Really? Why would she ask such a dumb question? She looked like she was in her mid-late twenties. I'm in my early twenties and I know that it was very common for people to use phone books back in the day.

Times have changed and I understand this movie wanted to show the differences between the times and the younger generation but that was a little much.

Then when Ben tries to explain that times were different back then,
she says "no, I get it."

...clearly, she didn't "get it" if she asked such a stupid question.
