I think the scene was meant to show that the books were simply too fragile to handle, and were therefore unreadable. It was an important point; that's why they made it such a vivid image.
Advertisers and the media cater to young people to such an extent these days that it's like the city in "Logan's Run"----everybody over age 30 is "offed." Or at least invisible.
Yes, to travel to the EARTH of the future (or past) would mean traveling through *space* as well, since nothing stands still.
The sun is moving at high velocity in its eons-long orbit of the galactic center, taking the planets with it. And for that matter, the galaxy itself is moving!
So the distant past/future is distant in *space* as well as time.
I'm sure she was awake. The destruction of the doomed plane in real, waking life is the reason she had all those foreboding, warning experiences. It was a case of retro-causation. They saved her life.
Exactly! THAT is the creepy scene. I'm surprised more people haven't commented on it. Reeve's character has suffered physical violence, and when he regains consciousness, he's on the ground, practically under that horse (who looks around at him), and he's bound, so that (at first) he *can't move.*
It's almost eerie, in retrospect.
I saw Robin Williams' mother on a morning talk show back in the late 1970s. As I recall, her name was Laurie, and you could plainly see the two were closely related. I had no doubt that she was his mother.
I first saw Rod Taylor on "The Twilight Zone," and couldn't help thinking of Robin Williams.
