"What is the purpose of this 'red room?'"

Thought you all would get a laugh out of this question some young person asked on the internet, especially any fans of the Netflix show "Stranger Things."

Suppose it's just indicative of the fact that there's now a generation out there that has never used film and knows next to nothing about it.  It's a bit like asking me to do something more than basic edits on the likes of Photoshop....

One thing that amazes me is that it seems people have never seen old movies and TV series...
I guess we'll soon be considered to be alchemists or magicians. And hopefully we won't get burned at the stake for turning paper into images.

From today's Guardian:

https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/shortcuts/2019/jul/29/in-the-dark-why-the-stranger-things-red-room-is-confusing-younger-fans

Whatever you feel about it, it's good publicity - though, as said above, has nobody understood the use of 'the red room' in countless films, tv shows and documentaries.

Take care,
Mike
