Quote:Now I'm intrigued, is it the modern version of Orwell's Animal Farm?

Not even close. It's a story of those in power using violence and fear to manipulate the population into doing exactly as they want. Oh, and there's a pretty funny Breaking Bad reference that's actually pretty scary when you consider it in the context of the film.


It's kind of an allegory for race relations (ESPECIALLY now), the war on terror, and a touch of Orwellian theory. It's all the more effective because of how it gets there. There's one line towards the end of the film that could come right out of the mouth of Obama, Clinton or Trump, and it's so true it's chilling.


TL;DR I consider it to be one of the best films ever made, by far the best thing ever to come from the Mouse, and certainly one of the most important.
