Okay, so everyone is bent out of shape about how the WTS is re-writing their history on their past failed predictions (1975). Other threads deal in all the evidence to tear apart their shameless propaganda, so I won't dwell on that here.
But, what I will do is list a couple of observations, silly as they are, that aren't about the propaganda so much as it is about the set design, and costume design. Feel free to add to the list.
Early scene where the wife is dying. I'm guessing it's supposed to be in the 60s sometime, but it looks more like a depression era film. Stark rooms, with no art on the walls, no color to brighten things up. Looks like a scene from the Robert de Niro parts of the Godfather.
I read a post about the husband pulling up just short of kissing his dead wife. The comment I read was about the JW actor kissing someone not his wife, playing the dead wife, therefore it had to be stopped short.. I didn't see that. I saw an ever so subtle nod to the JW belief of not worshipping the dead. Kissing a dead body would be a no no in the strictest interpretation of JW law.
Now, let's fast forward a few years. Our film's hero, when he was still a young widower, is attending the KH all by his lonesome. Notice anything? Remember this is prior to 1975... he's doing his damndest to stay alive till then... But look! He's wearing fashionable (for 1974 anyway) suits/shirts/ties. Colored dress shirts, with loud (for a dub) ties. I guaran-damn-tee you that back in 1974, had a brother come into the hall dressing like this, he would have gotten an invite to the back room for a grooming reminder. (I know I did) Yet, there's a WTS version of Edith Head in JW.org productions dressing this guy up like he's hip and cool, just like all young JW widowers...
Even his haircut was daring. Sure, it's okay for a JW teenager of 74, but not a grown man, who should be reaching out for privileges. (sidebar - I remember as teenagers, one elder went around and pulled on our hair, If he could get a good hold on it, he'd say, 'time for a haircut'. Bastard)
I got the distinct impression that our JW lead man was supposed to be on the daring side of JWism. Stylish clothes (as such could exist in those days). Daring haircut (again, as such as could be had during the days of hippies and disco). And most of all - not going along with the 1975 hysteria. Yes - our hero of the film dared to be different. Instead of eventually going inactive, or apostate, he became the voice of reason to all JWs left in the fold.
