What's a movie that feels out of its era? Either ahead or behind of its time. Or movies that don't seem like they would've been made then (lemmy.world)

Falling Down takes place in the 1990's but feels like a very 1970's movie.

Maybe the color tones? You're right though.

There is also a difference in theming.

The inner city as a dangerous place of crime for white suburbanites stopped being used as a trope in the 90's while it is on display here.

The study of a broken man in the process of snapping also feels a lot like movies like Taxi Driver.

I also feel like certain locations and the dress of the main character is made to evoke older times.
