Much like the "Wild West" or the "Roaring Twenties," there's an extreme amount of nostalgia associated with a period of American History that took place at the end of the 1950s and into the '60s. Films like Back to the Future and American Graffiti almost seem to portray the period as some sort of utopia, when the country was prospering and had its bright future ahead of it. It's because of this perceived look at the era that a series like Mad Men packs such a wallop of cold reality. With its gorgeous visuals of tailor made suits and skyscraper offices, the look the show is like a postcard of the age, but digging deep within its flawed characters shows a world rampant with misogyny and bigotry of many forms, giving us a brilliant look at that time period, as well as a distorted mirror into our own. »»
