The World of Tomorrow (1984)
Nostalgic and haunting
3 June 2010
I originally watched this documentary on TV probably 15 years ago. I wish I had kept it on VHS because I have been longing to watch it again. It was a look at the 1939 vision of the future. Yes, some was corny and optimistic (the robot, the super highway, planned cities, and airports with spaces for dirigibles)--but no one can really predict the future, right? Who, 40 years ago, could have predicted the world we live in now--cellphones in developing countries, personal computers operated by even the most technologically challenged, DVD, the internet, etc.
I really longed for the world presented in this documentary--a simple, naive world where the future seemed so bright. But right around the corner is WW2.
