It’s the subject of the movie “The Amusement Park”. An amusement park is supposed to be an enjoyable place to spend a day. Instead, it’s a nightmare to the main character, an old man. It’s a 53 minute movie that serves as a metaphor for how society treats the elderly. George Romero (“Dawn of the Dead”) directed it. The movie was shelved for the past half century because of its disturbing content. It has now finally been released. After the credit roll there’s a recorded interview.

I need no further clarification on that subject.

I'm happy to watch it, although I'll fall asleep before the previews are finished. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
