Was listening to a podcast where they got this question (was too long to put it in the title in its entirety) and was intrigued. The full question/senario was as following:
If you could travel back 35 years, bring three movies from 2000 or later and show them to an audience from the 80s, what would they be?
The discussion went in two directions: show the audience something that existed in their time but had been rebooted/sequelized (SW prequels, Robocop), or, show them something that had been developed in the time between the 80s and modern day, but as they hadn't been there to observe the development, would blow their mind (the folding of Paris unto itself from Inception, Kolidascope fight from Dr. Strange).
My mind went straight to the second option, the blowing of minds. And I jumped to Avatar or Pacific Rim almost right away. It would be interesting to see how people would react to such digital effects heavy movies, especially with what they had to compare with (not sure how far digital effects had come at this point, or even if it had been introduced). To show an audience who by this time just experienced A american werewolf in London and The Thing something that could generate entire worlds and characters, giant monsters and colosal mechs.
At least, that was what I thought would be fun to show. What do you guys think? What would you bring back to show?
