The fact that it’s a movie about people born in the 80s actually f***ed me up

"Assuming" lol

Imagine being the head of a white supremacist group focused on racial purification but your child marries an Asian guy

How is it undefined? Seemed pretty obvious to me that the French 75 were active during the 2000s and the modern part of the film takes place in the 2020s

The cars and surroundings make it pretty obvious too

The movie opened up at the U.S-Mexico border wall. That's late 2010's at earliest. That was the most obvious time marker in the entire film imo. Hard to overlook this when they didn't need to do it. @BVL noted recent gen iPhones cops had too

There was a lot of decisions i felt were there to avoid describing time period. Bob/Willa were stripped of modern technology to avoid placing the time, they never mentioned year even during the 16 year skip and i found the background details to be pretty neutral. Things updated because time indeed passed. I don't think PTA actually cares which is why its undefined beyond taking place around "modern era"

Bob also noted he was born in the 80's and i'd find it hard to believe he was in his 20's to start out

He said he was born in the 80s and then after was said he’s 42. Basic math fellas.

That would make him around 26 before the 16 year time skip.

fair point but still no real argument against the opening scene nor recent gen iphones when Teyanas arrested. Those are two significant markers yall have dodged so far.

I'd argue actually a lot of those inconsistencies add to the overall point a few of us claimed of being intentionally undefined. I still feel especially the 16 year skip doesn't matter much.

Its simply near-modern era and beyond imo. Something that can echo current era and might still be relevant in 10 years thanks to the stripped down tech once Willa is aged up

Are yall trying to narrow down if it’s literally 2022 or 2023 or 2024 etc? If that’s the case I don’t see why it matters? The majority of the film takes places in the 2020s and to my knowledge was supposed to be modern day?

2025-16 is 2009. They had iPhones back then.

Oh I feel you for sure. I never really felt “old” — I’m 31, but idk. Then a few years ago at work we had some really young university students filling summer positions and one day one of them was giving me a hard time for having “millennial humor” and I was like f*** idk what that means I’m officially old

Lmao who said they was iPhone 15s? You’re going off someone making that s*** up itt

bro trust me. that cop had 3 cameras on his phone

Okay let’s say he did, then small mistake on PTAs part.

But yall can’t claim it’s “undefined” if the character is said to be born in the 80s and is 42 years old.

To me vague would be “damn this movie could be the 90s, or early 2000s or 2010s or 2020s”

The majority of the movie is set in the 2020s. No earlier than 2022 to be exact. Cus if bro is born in the 80s that means the earliest is 1980… add 42 years that gives us 2022. Lmao the movie quite literally tells you the time range.
