This is a terrible way of visualizing data. Who uses a bar chart for years‽ It should just be a timeline.
Because it's demonstrating the difference in time between the year the movie was created and the year the movie depicts.
Still an awful visualization, since the scale of the chart makes it impossible to compare the release years. Also it should have a legend explaining that.
It is a timeline then. I thought that what it was, but a legend would have been nice.
The bar is from actual release year to setting year, that's why the left edges aren't aligned
The annoying thing is the vertical line (when this infographic came out) wasn’t updated so it just looks like a random line.
I was thinking it was meant to line up with the year 2000 (as shown on the axis at the bottom), but then I saw that somehow 2001 was behind the vertical axis which makes it not make sense at all
My guess is this was graphic made some time ago and the line on the chart was the current year. Given the newest films on the list look to be Idiocracy and Children of Men from 2006, that would make the line sometime in the mid-late 2000's.
Timeline would suck. The right side would be so far it would compress all the data.
Clearly this should be a pie chart.
Nah, they should go with a box and whisker. One box for release date, one for date depicted.
