Each generation imagines itself to be more intelligent than the one that went before it, and wiser than the one that comes after it.
You have a row of dominoes set up; you knock over the first one, and what will happen to the last one is that it will go over very quickly.

Last summer when we were preparing for the movie, I actually kind of wanted to stay fairly uninformed about it. As we went through the process that we do in the movie, I wanted to be a little wide-eyed.
