Few movies can pull off the “real time” thing successfully, meaning the 2 hours you watch it there’s only 2 hours passing in the movie. I thought this movie nailed it out of the park.
When you needed to use a phonebooth it meant your life was fked up and you needed to un-fk it fast.
Phonebooth in movies showed how urgent thing were and how important the conversation was and you only had a limited time before the call would end so you had to say shit fast.
On the other hand it showed how bad your situation was when you argued in the phone booth and the person hung up on you. and it was your last quarter so you were out of luck and slammed the phone screaming and cursing.
I use to see ppl waiting for calls because to make international calls you needed a $5 card with code in it and a family member was in an accident or died.
some were waiting for a job interview or just a call from someone. spend like 2hr next to the booth waiting for the call. and they would get nervous if someone used the phone cause they might miss their call.
