Well, that's the key word: resembling.

It can resemble the 60's and feel like the 60's without being a carbon copy of the decade, because that's hardly the point of the movie anyway. Especially when the half-baked social commentary they make is, well, half-baked.

Kind of like how Bioshock Infinite could have still been authentically what it was without amping up the racism in really gross ways. I realize that's pulling from a much more extreme example, but I'm sick of "authenticity" being used as a defense for shitty storytelling choices when all they're actually used for is pressing a button.

You know what removing problems of an era is called when making a work set in it? Give you a clue begins with E, loves to hate you, synthpop, ends in rasure.

If you sanitize things in the name of making it more palatable then it is a massive slap in the face to those that lived in that era and dealt with the problems therein. Social justice is as much about accepting what happened in the past as it is about changing the future. That is what the real campaigners for change in the real world understand, and what the contextfree brats on the internet don't.
