We saw these movies well before we were 16 or 18. Maybe today's grown ups actually didn't watch them and are braindead because of it?

Mandatory watching exercise for everyone:

  • the matrix (only the first one, the rest is meh)
  • 12 monkeys
  • minority report
  • oblivion
  • idiocracy
  • don't look up

The themes are always the same. Peak dystopia, sometimes facilitated by helpful idiots.

Or read some of Phillip K Dicks books I’d also add the film Brazil to that list

Oblivion? It was all right, and I recommend it, but I wouldn't call it a mandatory watch, it didn't have any special message

Was Minority Report a documentary too?

Most sci-fi is. At least if you squint a little.

If you don't like it, then move across the Channel or to Ireland.
