Tbf most people I know, regardless of age, agree that Covid and lockdown broke something in our perception of time. Nothing has felt quite real chronologically since then.
The most important movie for comparison is Austin Powers, because that's a movie where a 30-year time shift is relevant to the plot. Going from 1997 to 1967 should be as much of a culture shock as going from 1997 to 2027.

Sometimes I lie in bed and think, did the last five years even happen?

Well well well... it isn't the start of younger Millennials and older Gen Z feeling the way I did when 2003 was no longer "a couple years ago."
Welcome to the party, kids. Hope you brought snacks.

Part of it happened on those old days before COVD... When believe it or not, people already existed and did things.
Part of it happened on those days since the COVID emergency ended. Believe it or not, it wasn't earlier this year.
Almost all of it happened before the US has gone crazy in Trump part 2. Believe it or not, it wasn't 30 years ago.

This had made many people very angry and has been widely regarded as a bad move.

It will be 115 years since Titanic's sinking, next April the 15th. Also, the first film was 31 days later, on May the 16th.

I was just gonna say, the Titanic is a little older than 30.

I think it's crazy that his life seems forever ago, but if he was still alive today, he'd be 91 which is well within the realms of possibility.
