![]() And, like all of the other films I just shamelessly name-dropped, this Johnny Depp-starring swashbuckling epic has aged quite nicely, thank you very much. Now when we move the time dial up a wee bit to Gore Verbinski’s early 2000’s offering (2003 to be precise) of Pirates of the Caribbean, I’m instantly brought back to a time and place when the corporate world had not yet entirely taken over the landscape of cinema (though they were making good inroads, brothers and sisters). Wall Street? Simple enough the Reagan years. Or move ahead a few years to Casablanca and we’re right in the thick of the so-called “Last Good War.” Easy Rider and The Graduate totally puts me on the late 1960s scene, replete with Flower Power and the Vietnam War. For example, you say Gone With the Wind and my pop-addled brain instantly goes back to the late 1930s with the world on the brink of a new World War. Movies can mark specific eras like almost nothing else.
