Social Media

■ Tumblr: I did a search on the social media site of the tag “’71 film”. The search result came up with a variety of photos, clips, quotes, gifs and other various things to do with the film. Under this tag there are quite a few posts, a lot of them do relate to the film (with two or three anomalies).
