![]() The present study examines the distinctive dynamics at play in anticipatory and personal nostalgia by exploring the relationship between each type of dispositional nostalgia and reported experience with happy and sad stories. Distinct from personal nostalgia, anticipatory nostalgia was found to be characterized by difficulty enjoying the present and a tendency toward sadness and worry. Recently, a focus on when nostalgia is experienced relative to past and future was introduced in the construct of anticipatory nostalgia, missing the present prematurely before it has become past. ![]() Variables that influence the adaptive or maladaptive dimensions of nostalgia have not yet been fully explored. ![]() In recent studies, daily diary data highlighted nostalgia’s mixed valence and suggested that nostalgia is more strongly associated with negative feelings. Le Moyne College, Syracuse, NY, United StatesĬontemporary research has showcased many benefits of nostalgia, but its bittersweet character and historical reputation as unhealthy raise the possibility of less favorable impacts.And in 2019, when the world saw the very first true image of a black hole some 53.5 million light-years away, we learned that Interstellar's "Gargantua" was pretty spot on. Not to mention Interstellar's impressive scientific detail (time dilation is real guys, just ask Einstein), which led to the publication of new scientific papers based on what a black hole would actually look like. But we've gone with I nterstellar-it's the only sci-fi to make the cut on our decade-defining list, and for good reason.Īs 2019 wraps up, the tale of an Earth in environmental turmoil and humanity's quest to endure and to navigate the boundaries of space and physics feel all the more poignant (especially set to a deeply moving soundtrack from Hans Zimmer). Inception, The Dark Knight Rises and Dunkirk were each absolutely epic in their own way. The 2010s were pretty huge for director Christopher Nolan-making it almost impossible to pick just one of his mind-bending movies as the ultimate standout. And apart from lapping up a tonne of acclaim and eight nominations at the 83rd Academy Awards, this two-hour movie stands the test of time in its lessons of privacy and power-maybe even more so as Facebook’s dubious data intentions have come to see the light of day in the past few years. It wasn’t really the 2010s without social media, was it? David Fincher’s iconic “Facebook movie” did more than enlighten us into the beginnings of, well, Facebook. Here are all the central movies that defined the last decade. But deeper shifts were also in play-the aftermath of 2007's huge financial crisis, the rise of the Internet of Things, social media making way for the #MeToo movement, the presidential election of Donald Trump and the widespread concept of “fake news”, and shifting social attitudes that saw LGBQTI+ rights and female representation make substantial progress. Sure, when we first think about the culture that came into fruition from the 2010s we think memes, influencers and Marvel everything. But as we roll into a new era of telling stories on screen, a time where superhero franchises dominate dollars and juggernaut streaming services challenge movie monopoly, we can’t help but get a touch nostalgic and think about what movies were pivotal in shaping movie storytelling and actually made history through the 2010s. Cramming the most defining movies of the last decade into one list is no easy task.
