Because you're telling a story, and I'm sure people fifty years ago would tell the same story differently if they were telling it to you today. Because the time is different. The film is the work of today's audience. ↗

Today, children are watching more and more television, and are bombarded over and over with images and content that have the potential to dramatically influence their behavior. ↗

I wanted to rock back and forth between myth and distant futures, yesterday, today, and tomorrow. It felt a bit like prophecy and a bit like storytelling. ↗
