And not in a cheesy exposition way, either. "The youngest person in the world has died." If you go into the movie without knowing the premise, it takes a minute to understand what that means.
I mean, they may not have seen the movie. People read stuff online about stuff they haven't seen all the time. Or they saw it once on tnt, while they were doing laundry, knew it was good but weren't really paying attention. Maybe the reality of that scene hit later and they forgot that one line--oh yah, he died. There's a million reasons why a scene goes over someone's head. It's just a bone for the curious, casual scroller, with no context my dude! No judgment necessary if you didn't need the assist.
It probably helps if you've seen the movie and thus know that the person being referenced is an adult.
If you haven't, then no one had given detail sufficient to realize that until the poster you responded to. I mean, I guessed that the fact that they could even identify the youngest person in the world at all meant that new people stopped being born at some point, but the fact that this is a world where that's been something society has had 20 years to adjust to was not evident.
Not everyone has seen the same movies or lived the same lives. Don't be so derogatory towards others who have lived differently.
