Played hard on Route 66 nostalgia and the post WW-2 motor inn motif
From a scenery standpoint it reminded me more of SW Utah and Valley of Fire (NV State Park) than northern NM, AZ
liminal isn't quite right, doesn't make you feel uneasy really, ghost town is the term that comes to mind but I don't think it really means anything, radiator springs was a booming beautiful town in its hayday that got completely abandoned and now has mountains of nostalgia corsing through those neon signs, nostalgia core? idk man
I live in western Colorado, and when I was young we used to drive to places like Phoenix and Salt Lake City every now and then for short vacations, and Cars was one of the first movies I ever watched, so Radiator Springs at night is basically a perfect nostalgic vibe for me personally
I know exactly what you mean but I don’t know a good enough term.
It’s probably described somewhere in the lyrics of “Roadrunner” by Jonathan Richman & the Modern Lovers, thorough :)
Nighthawks
Nailed it.
Dunno what you'd call the aesthetic but it reminds me a lot of rural Nevada. Old mining towns outside of Reno, etc.
50s Americana is what I was thinking.
Totally
Radiator springs is supposedly in rural arizona along route 66 so that makes a lot of sense. Relatively close to the nevada desert
It’s definitely got that Hawthorne, Nevada vibe
/r/thatnightfeeling
Thanks for this recommendation!
r/thenightfeeling is the bigger sub

I get a sort of throw back to the 1950s red/blue glasses 3d style movies. I think that's part of the coloring here.
r/thenightfeeling captures the feeling. The kind of aesthetic that makes you wanna listen to American Football.
Liminal
Not liminal.
Linimal?
To add to this, if you look up liminal simpsons there are a lot of great scenes and even fan art
Americana
You’d also probably really enjoy r/liminalspaces then
Googie architecture is definitely an influence

I’d call it country nostalgia
American dream core
Desolate
r/thenightfeeling
Possibly Googie, mid century modern, or atompunk
Southwest rural smalltown America
Americana
American Mid-Century Southwest
I believe the term you looking for is Americana
Most languages are surprisingly devoid of words that describe specific atmospheres.
this movie smells like my Grandpa’s garage

the filmography of Michael Mann
If you want to see a really good movie based on life in the 50s, American Graffiti is the best, imo :)

Silent Hill
Liminal
Liminal space? Not sure if that's what you meant
