There is a part of american culture that resisted the Reaganism, the materialistic culture, the wild financial globalization, the return to the past, the illusion of heroic power, the male world. :)
Mike Mills set the turning point in 1979, in Carter's speech.
Those who resisted managed to bridge the gap between the late 1970's and the 21st century.
Do you remember fun? Be surprised? Live the moment? The oscars party was all that. I haven't watched any of these movies yet but I've seen the party twice. :) There is a movie that I really want to see: 20th century women.
This movie is about the present looking at the future: cultural innovation. Women understand the cultural changes. They are the first to feel the change and to embrace it. Many changes were the women themselves to provoke them. Women are better equipped to understand the millennials. :)
