Decline and Fall

2009

After we've seen war-footage come raining upon us at ferocious speed, the image suddenly shifts into an desolated bar, showing the same footage on an bar-TV, whilst an bartender unknowingly cleans beer-glasses. Charlie, the films protagonist, is then seen driving his car towards this particular bar. The sun is breaking while Charlie parks outside Dick Turpin's pub. After sitting down and ordering a beer, Charlie starts recounting his steps before arriving at the pub.
