By the time I watched this movie in the mid 90s it felt like it was from another lifetime, I thought she had already died decades ago by the time I watched the movie. To me anything that happened before I was born felt like it was from ancient times. So yeah even stuff from the 80s that was only a couple of years old as a kid already felt like a whole different world. People forget this as they age. That's why to Gen Alpha and Zoomers anything from the 90s & 00s seens as strange and abstract as the 50s in Back to the Future did to kids watching that movie in 1990.

They see us with the same disgust in their eyes as we did to Gen X and older when we were in our teens and twenties. Hell, us millenials are probably just a couple of years away before getting that old people smell that those who are Gen X and older have. Disgusting.
