Come back to us when you're 100 and staring death in the face, rather than looking it approach 50 years into the the future. Then you can say whether or not you want to live.

To this man watching a movie wouldn't be that different from living his life, so if his perspective provides us with some insight into the real world then there's no reason why it shouldn't inform us about films as well.

Where's Portugal? I get that by this point thy weren't as powerful as previously but they were still powerful in one way or another.
