Most movies just flat-out don’t work in the modern world. “It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World” would have been ten minutes long, tops, if one person had a smartphone.

That boy never knew a world without smartphones.

I thought that it was about their carrier had a really restrictive texting plan.

If he really wants to confuse the boy, he could talk about a phone booth, or a mailbox.

Cell phones ruin all the stories.

For a kinda long but entertaining cover of this topic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Pw_7vAK9k8

In this fantasy world humans had to use something called their own “brain” to solve problems instead of seeking immediate answers from a deity they called GOOGLE. Scary!

Right. He has to use a magic messenger arrow while wearing a crossbow tie. :)

As opposed to our real world, where all the elves have smartphones.

Yet, one still does not simply walk into Mordor.

Without smartphones, they are forced to fend for thems-elves.

So many great songs would be ruined by cell phones too. “Fool In The Rain” is over in 15 seconds, for example.
