Now imagine if someone today wanted to make a movie with the same premise where a guy in a time machine travels back to 1991 and we see him act like the proverbial "fish out of water" as he discovers this strange new world of 1991.
It doesn't quite work does it?
I had the same thought when I watched American Graffiti the last time - that movie was set 11 years before its production, but it seemed like a different lifetime, 11 years ago from today is practically the same world.
