I have always loved Nighthawks and I think it's a great parallel to what people continue to experience today. People have become personal cells, rob05c brings up a good point with people living in tribal villages. They were individuals, sure, but they were a community first and foremost. Today everybody is a moving entity and communities are much harder to come upon, let alone maintain. With that and how incredibly nuanced a persons view points and persona can be, it's no wonder that loneliness is such a problem. There is an outlet in the diner, now in the internet and smartphones and Netflix, but is that really a solution?
