"I can't shake the feeling that Earth, in spite of all that's happened, Earth is still my home." Jack Harper
The title of this film is brilliant. The satire of this film is brilliant. We are so busy following orders and trying to be what others expect of us that we never approach boundaries, we never question if we’re doing the right thing, and we never learn how to think for ourselves or make our own decisions. We’re a bunch of clones carrying out the same orders everyday in a mindless fashion, thinking that we’re making a difference. We are oblivious. If we aren’t now, then we will be someday. This film tells us that we can be more. We can dream. We can change. No matter how bad things are, we have the ability to overcome and to make things better for ourselves. This film tells an elegant story in a beautiful, yet minimalistic way. Our main cast is small, our sets are either clean and sleek or desolate wasteland. There’s not too much to look at so that there is nothing to distract us from the human drama. Furthermore, when there is more to take in, we notice by contrast. This film focuses our attention in the best way possible to teach us a little more about being human and living on Earth.
Rank: 62
Would definitely move up upon rewatch.
