This is part of a long-standing tradition in movies: The Guy Who Just Can’t Take It Anymore.

than it ever has before, and the rate of change is also increasing. People who grew up in times of relatively slow change are going to feel this pain until they die. After they’re all gone, maybe we won’t see these movies anymore.
