Just for those who have remarked that they live in Brazil. It’s the movie Brazil that this meme is referring to.
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
i see not even leftists are done beating the “society is just like that one overt eugenics movie” druum
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.
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.
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.
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*
Lol not even close lmao 🤣
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.
Some of these feel mutually exclusive…
- uses cloud flair 😄
Flavour country. 😎
Brazil is infinitely better than the US. Cope, Murica.
Brazil is a movie.
I know, I also know the movie has nothing to do with the US. And that placing this in the list is purely pejorative towards the country Brazil.
It’s a dystopian movie. It has literally nothing to do with the country.
Nothing except it being called Brazil and being dystopian? Are you usually this dull?
It’s named after a song. I think the main character might briefly say he dreams about going there. Obviously you haven’t seen it, but there’s really no need to get offended.
By the way, I highly recommend watching it for everyone else, especially if you’re a fan of Terry Gilliam. Not you though, guy I’m replying to. You should stick to less challenging topics to avoid hurting your own feelings.
I hate 1984 on so many levels…
“I wonder why all these societal commentaries feel like society”
I wonder if there’s a general vibe to these specific societal commentaries…
Needs to fit in Handmaids Tale here somewhere too.
Swap it with The Matrix
And cyberpunk
And Terminator…
