“Nostalgia is denial - denial of the painful present… the name for this denial is golden age thinking - the erroneous notion that a different time period is better than the one ones living in - its a flaw in the romantic imagination of those people who find it difficult to cope with the present.” - Paul, played by Michael Sheen.
I always liked movies that feature time-travel, but i hadn’t known it was a manifestation of my escapist tendencies.
