I saw The Road and It Comes At Night pretty quickly after each other. Both incredibly disturbing in how possible and real it all is. Any other films that portray the incoming environmental collapse and/or societal decay?

    V for vendetta has its moments and I was all about that movie in my twenties....but as I've gotten older and arguably wiser I agree with Alan Moore: The Wachowskies replaced his far more poigniant dichotomy of Fascism and Anarchism with Fascism and Liberal Democracy....which is a lot less interesting.

    I suppose in 2005 the world was not ready for such a discussion in the mainstream....but it makes the film feel more dated then ever in the Bush era whilst the graphic novel still offers insight LONG past the era of Thatcher.
