You know what really trips me out? Movies made in one time period but about another. Like “Animal House”: a film made in the ’70s about the early ’60s. It’s so hard to decipher the contexts of both the movie shoot itself and the era the film is set in.  ”A Christmas Story” was made in the early ’80s and it takes place in the 1940s. Every time I see Peter Billingsley (Ralphie) I have to remind myself he’s just a few years older than me and not buried next to Tony Curtis. Even Western films are throwbacks. All of them. Quick when was “Fistful of Dollars” Made? EHHHH. Wrong. 1989. Fine, 1964. But you didn’t know that.
