realistic

[Kirpianuscus · 24 December 2022]

Sometimes, the past needs to be updated.

It is one of the lines of this short film impressive for the high realism.

The premise is simple: USA is past, each region of it is in war against the others. A zoung girl becomes student of a highschool in East. All is knowledge is infirmed class by class. The first step, the talk with teacher about a chapter of 1984 bz george Orwell.

The gift of film is the cold thrill on spine. Because it is not a dystopia or a short Sci Fi but a reflection of very probable next reality. Part of scenes are good remind of facts from near reality of present.

So, a smart crafted short film. A warning. And a confession about too very close future.

Paranoid tripe

While the US and other countries around the world are currently struggling with creeping right-wing authoritarianism and christofascism, this film comes along and in typical conspiracy theory fashion, vomits paranoid delusions that "the government" (tm) wants to take away everyone's individuality.

Ostensibly the seems to be about warning of some dystopian Harrison Bergeron/1984 future where everyone is forced into regurgitating false histories and nonsense "science" and conforming to a mindset where "there's no such thing as an individual," but in reality it's the same bunch of seeping paranoia that leaks in from the political fringes constantly: T. H. E. Y. (tm) want to make everyone the same and suppress The Truth (tm).

Flat earthers, youung earth creationists, Q-anon mouth breathers, and paranoids of all stripes will love it.

Pure drivel.
