Maybe they're already random. permalink fedilink source hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] atomicorange@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago (2 children) Nah, I can see it. 1984: they’re rewriting history / propagandizing Idiocracy: the morons are in charge Hunger Games: they’re pitting us against each other Brave New World: they’re distracting us with entertainment The others seem to fall pretty well into those categories. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] superkret@feddit.org 16 points 1 year ago (1 child) They're also rewriting history in Idiocracy (It's actually a key story element at the end). "They're pitting us against each other" is one of the most important aspects in 1984. And "They're distracting us with entertainment" is literally at the core of Hunger Games. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Madzielle@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 1 year ago So it still works beautifully permalink fedilink source parent [–] protogen420@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 1 year ago (1 child) now explain brazil there, how is it om the 1984 and not hunger games permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] atomicorange@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 child) Are you thinking of the film or the country? The film has a large overbearing surveillance state / bureaucracy as the chief antagonist, it’s about the suppression of art and loss of human connection. Do you see it differently? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] protogen420@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 year ago (1 child) wiat there is a film called brazil? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] monotremata@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 year ago It's directed by Terry Gilliam, and it's brilliant. It's set in a bureaucratic totalitarian state, and follows a minor functionary who is slowly losing his mind. There are multiple overlapping plots, involving a rebel heating engineer, a man mistakenly abducted and tortured to death by the government after a computer glitch, the functionary's politically ambitious mother, a quack plastic surgeon, a beautiful truck driver, terrorist attacks, and the functionary's ever-growing escapist fantasy life. It's one of my favorite films. Right up there with Delicatessen in terms of dystopian comedy sci-fi. permalink fedilink source parent [–] topherclay@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago Yeah it's not really even a joke it's just for the clapter. If someone said to you "it's like we're living in a dystopian future" it would be the same level of humor as this post. The only thing putting it in a four-way venn diagram added was to explain to the reader that the person doesn't know how venn diagrams work. permalink fedilink source parent [–] lunarul@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago (1 child) I was wondering how Lord of the Flies fit in the Idiocracy circle. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] atomicorange@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago Kids are dumb permalink fedilink source parent
