Another older film I suspect most here haven't seen. While not truly a "great" movie, this 1946 film is an eye-opener, as some of the ideas and concepts discussed in this movie were many years ahead of their time, and it serves to remind us that anything we can think of, has probably already been thought of.
I was amazed by this film, as I never even considered that people born way before I was were a lot smarter than we tend to think they were, which I then realized was because we don't have access to anything other than small glimpses into earlier days.
It is kind of like we look at the past the way a person living in 2200 would look at us if all they had access to were recordings of McDonald's commercials. They would have a distorted perspective of life now that would be so because they didn't have more information available to them.
