This is literally the cause of all our problems: “Millennials don’t really care about classic movies”

August 24, 2017 By Kathy Shaidle

I’m not being sarcastic.

You can learn almost everything about life from movies.

(You learn a few things from playing video games apparently, but I still find that hard to believe.)

You will learn, for example, that you are not the first generation to have Problem X or “Solution” Y.

Oh, hey, this black and white thing with the stupid title actually has a “free speech on campus” subplot:

If your idea of an “old movie” is Star Wars, then you are illiterate.
