Not going to lie, I have no idea how to read this chart. Years go down, but also to the right for some reason? What does the vertical line on the year 2000 represent? Why do some of the bars start to the left of that line? Does the horizontal span of the bar represent the timeline within the movie?
It's really pretty, but I can't make heads of tails of it. Can someone help?
Left bar is year of release, but is has to be an old graph (apart from the "you are here")because none of the movies are newer than year 2000.
Idiocracy and Children of Men are from 2006, which I believe are the newest films on the list. Though the bar for Star Trek suggests that it's depicting the timeline from the 2009 movie, but that could be debated.
Perhaps the author wanted to emphasize the movies that were way ahead of their time by charting this way...
