but the necessary technology was lacking
Plot
In 1980s Indiana, a group of young friends witness supernatural forces and covert government operations. In search of answers, children discover a series of incredible mysteries. Steve Perry, the former lead singer of Journey, said that the remix of Journey’s 80s hit “Separate Ways (Worlds Apart)” for the fourth season of Stranger Things was done almost exactly the way he originally wanted it to be in the 1980s. Perry was so impressed that he even helped develop the remix.
This has happened several times with children’s CB radios and with police radios
In several episodes, people are seen “jamming” someone talking on a walkie-talkie or CB radio – so one person is talking/transmitting, another person interrupts by broadcasting, and then another person hears the interruption and listens. send. These radios – CB and police radios from the show’s era – don’t work that way. If you are broadcasting and someone else is broadcasting, you will not hear them.
Eleven: Friends don’t lie
The Stranger Things sign-off credits and font mimic the film grain and look of the opening credits of the 1980s television series. Included in FoundFlix: Stranger Things (2016) – Ending Explained + Season 2 Notes (2016). Stranger Things (Title sequence and closing credits) Written and performed by Kyle Dixon and Michael Stein. There is no reason, plot-wise, for Stranger Things to be set in the 80s.
ET, Poltergeist, stuff like that
But the ’80s vibe — rotary phones, chain smoking, Winona Ryder — gives you a hint of the inspiration for this film, which includes just about every ’80s supernatural flick with a kid focus. It’s wonderful how fitting this tribute is. It’s not just about the clothes and hairstyles, but also the acting style, the approach to the screenplay, the structure, everything remains true to her inspiration. There are young nerds, horny, insecure teenagers, a monster, a mysterious one with powers, an evil scientist/government people, a torn investigator, a crying mother.
Although it doesn’t have the high style of the Spielberg films that are the main influence, it is still likable
You could argue that this entire season is simply a motley of recycled elements, and I wouldn’t argue with that, but it really feels less like a copycat and more like something from that era, like the writers fell into a coma in 1985 and woke up and put to work. The story is consistently exciting and entertaining, the actors are excellent, and the film offers enough to make you laugh and cry.
