I can't say enough about this film, it's spectacular. it's use of satire and it's unbelievable foresight are amazing stuff to watch. To think that this movie was made in 1976 makes it truly Orwellian in a way that few can compare. The Internet has pushed us further and faster toward this ultimate "One World Order" brought to you by Mcdonald's, Walmart and Starbucks where Corporations are truly king, nothing is sacred and everything is for sale. Even the news has a profit margin and the facts are replaced by opinion and whatever else will bump the ratings up the highest for the stock holders. This is a film I wish every person going into the TV business would watch before they sell out for the almighty dollar. Not that it would matter I suppose but maybe they'd get mad and realize they weren't gonna take it anymore too!!!
