Idiocracy
Idiocracy
Everyday idiocracy is becoming more and more real
History of the world: part 1
Independence Day. Just run away, alien dudes! The xenophobia isn’t worth it!
Schindler’s List. Humans can be nasty, horrible, utterly evil. It’s all too common. But some of us will work to do good. Some of us will push back and do what’s right. There is evil in this world, but there is also goodness.
“Contact” for a similar reason. It’s a mix of all motivations, along with people’s general mistrust of each other.
Samsara for the same reason. It shows beauty mixed with terrifying images of human impact.
Life of Brian, no doubt
The meaning of life too
Just the entire Cunk on Earth series.
100% factual information about human history.
Don’t Look Up
The depressing thing about that movie is that in some ways it was exaggerated like satire usually is, but in others they actually toned down the stupidity.
The premise is exaggerated, but the actions are clearly better than were handling things in real life.
The premise is exaggerated, and I’m not sure I buy that silicon valley is that influential, prepared or even reckless. However, the president in it is not nearly as out there as the real one she’s based on, and the scene near near the end where someone looks up and the mob turns on her was damn near immersion-breaking.
In real life, they would have at best dissipated and tried to pretend they were never there, or at worst beat up the guy that saw it because it’s a trick and he must be in on it. Mobs are not capable of humility of any kind, and cease to exist the moment it’s forced on them; that’s like mob psychology 101.
The man from earth. That should confuse them.
Hey, Neptune! I’m the only other human to have seen that movie!
I wish there were more. I love it so much.
Me too.
Somehow. They did make a sequel. That’s what Wikipedia says.
I should re-watch it. It’s been years.
By Jerome Bixby? It’s my favorite movie. I have to watch that again soon
Independence Day. Tell them it’s a documentary.
Not a movie exactly, creators asked some basic questions and invited people to submit footage from a single day in July 2010. Exciting or mundane, anything.
It’s really well put together and always gives me a refreshed perspective on my place in the world.
They did it again in 2020, during the pandemic.
A Serbian Film
Idiocracy.
Real answer though, 2001 a space odyssey.
Idiocracy was honestly my first thought, but they wouldn’t have all the cultural nuance required to understand it. Someone else said Don’t Look Up, which I think would get through the irrationality a bit better.
Haha 2001 was my first thought, and Idiocracy was my second.
Mean girls
Shocked nobody’s mentioned ‘Mars Attacks.’
Idiocracy.
