The fashionable early eighties obsession with a post-apocalyptic future found it's zenith in Mad Max . The over-styled 80's gave us Blade Runner, Robocop, and Total Recall. Even more recent films like AI Artificial Intelligence (2000) are stylistically much more of our time than what the future will likely be like. |
Excellent explanation Roberto. What you are saying is true. Every dacade there comes new design interpretations of what the future "looks" like. Now in the 21th century it is alot about minamalism. Plane colours like black, gray and specially white and as with the 20th century the good old aluminum is still hot on the plate. This can be seen in movies like the Island and Minority Report. The 70s was worst IMO, to damn alien fixated.
