Flavour country. π
Please leave The Matrix out of this. Seriously, do not compare any of that to The Matrix. It is a trans-allegory. If anything, not enough people know that. So many fucking Red Pill douchebags who would renounce the franchise once they learned that.
Terry Gilliam's Brazil is a masterpiece. He denies it, but anyone that has seen the movie and really knew Brazil in the eighties knows that movie is absolutely about the country.
Love to see Soylent Green on there. Both in a metaphorically and quickly approaching literal sense.
Idk it doesn't look like we'll run out of food and the population bomb turned out to be a dud. Maybe the food chain will collapse in the ecocrisis, but Capital will find a way to produce food more energy-intensively to compensate.
It's a classic, but it reflects the anxieties of the time for sure.
I'm not convinced that tech and humanity can create enough food sources to make up for losses that climate change is going to create. I think the damage is going to occur much more quickly than any replacement food chain could be established.
I hate 1984 on so many levels...
Lol not even close lmao π€£
very weak in the subgroupings. There could be 2 axises of dystopia. 1. Autocratic vs chaotic 2. some attempt to mean well vs dystopia by design.
axes*
Some of these feel mutually exclusive...
FFS just put on the damn sunglasses.
No we need to have an unnecessary 10 minute fistfight instead of just trying it for myself.
And in so doing, we'll have the greatest first fight ever committed to film.
- uses cloud flair π
Ah yes, the four cornerstones of dystopian fiction: 1984, Brave New World, Idiocracy, and Hunger Games
Where's weekend at Bernie's
Or Zootopia!
Should have gone with Social, Political, Economical and (Post-)Apocalyptical.
I had a go at Authoritarian, Scarcity, Chaotic, and Plentiful
I like how you swapped brave new world
I should rematch Gattaca
