    So much of this makes no sense. How the fuck is lord of the flies a cross section between 1984, animal farm and faremheight 451, which also makes it Logan's run if you add Animal Farm to Logans Run? I've read/seen all of these and there isn't any commonality here

      lord of the flies was about a one-party state with mass surveillance and omnipresent propaganda, where all books were burned, and it's theocratical and any women that can bear children are forced to do so. that's what happened in the book about boys on an island

          My Thesis on Literature that I live by is that you can bend anything to any interpretation but the further your take strays from authorial intent the more you need to justify that take and this can be taken to absurd extremes if you are really good at bullshitting. This venn diagram proved me wrong

        Brazil has far more in common with The Trial than it does with either of those two movies.

        I source most of the weird shit I find from Facebook, it's genuinely the best website for finding just the worst stuff posted with no irony or self awareness.
