Servalan would just nuke the whole place. Much the safest option.

Do you think the film being black n white makes it scarier?

It seems more like a metaphor for drug use, to me. Just like you, but with no problems, no feelings, no trouble. |

But it could as easily be the consumer society as communism, I think. Everyone buying the same clothes, the same food, the same drink - all in uniformity. |

They believe! But he's on the point of falling asleep! Is he far enough away from those things, or is it too late for him? |

It's an American film, so it has to end with optimism (of a sort). Much more chilling if he'd fallen asleep. Then we'd never know who was who... But who's to say the rest of humanity would do any better? Those pods are being distributed as we watch! "You're not sulking, I hope?"

Nice idea, though, and quite well done. Only spoiled by the weak ending, really. You could split wood on that bloke's jaw. That's probably what won him the part. "You're not sulking, I hope?"

I highly recommend the remake. It's a bit more ghastly though. You'd like it M'Virn.

Question: are either of you SF fans? I thought these films I put up here were staples of the SF diet (apart from last week) and yet..

I still think some Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea would be worth a rewatch. Or maybe something like GalaxyQuest as an antidote to all the horror!
