Details

πŸŒƒ THEY TOLD US BUT WE NEVER LISTENED
We've been warned by some of the greatest science-fiction films of all time including 2001: A Space Odyssey, 1984, Robocop, The Matrix, They Live, The Terminator and checkout Dave Cullen's scary review on Metropolis. They all tried to warn us but why didn’t we listen?

Hey guys πŸ‘‹ I guess it’s because we’ve been like good little frogs happily swimming in the slow boiling water. Needless to say that these two sci-fi dystopian films also attempted to say something that I now fear is very much a reality. A reality of wealth, inequality, industrialisation, and the struggle that we will have to endure in an enforced, dehumanising, ultramodern society and the dangers of unchecked technology. A civilisation divided between classes where the oppressed are ruled by authoritarian apatheists whose sole purpose is to infiltrate and create disparity between the authentic and the natural.

Now, I’m no expert on dystopian nightmares nor am I a futurist foresighter. But I do believe in my God given gut which the powers that be try to discredit. So anyway, these movies by Ridley Scott and Denis Villeneuve are based on the science fiction novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? by Phillip K. Dick, who I think clearly knew something that most of us refuse to believe. Both these movies and the book explore philosophical themes deeply interpretive in nature and reflect on the high-tech vision in which consumerism, corporatism, and a lack of human empathy have become the foundation of our society.

So ,here are some questions for you guys. Is humanity creating the mechanised fulfilment of his worst nightmares? Will that thing that he has created have a soul and conscience or will it serve its own interests? And is there anything we can do about it now? Something to think about. Here's the plan for tonight:

  1. 5:15 PM: We meet for drinks at the Prince Charles Cinema Bar. You will find me with a meetup sign.
  2. 5:45 PM: We move to Screen 1 where we have selected seat A8 & A9, but feel free to choose your preferred location**.** There will be a 10 minute break between for Performances.
  3. 11:00 PM We briefly reconvene at the bar to score the film. The results will be posted on Letterboxd.
