The future is always a dystopia in movies.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I think sci-fi films have become rather bleak, and understandably so - I think we've made some big mistakes globally with how we're developing, and we deal with that guilt by creating these very dystopian futures in films.
Dystopian novels help people process their fears about what the future might look like; further, they usually show that there is always hope, even in the bleakest future.
The beauty of dystopia is that it lets us vicariously experience future worlds - but we still have the power to change our own.
I feel that film is inevitably the medium of the future. It has been for years, decades, but more so now than ever.
I think dystopian futures are also a reflection of current fears.
The future, like everything else, is not what it used to be.
Somebody has to invest in creating the movies of the future.
I'm a huge fan of dystopian films. I collect them in my brain.
I'm now beginning to feel that the pessimistic vision is not for the movies.
Most dystopian, classic and contemporary, paints a future world that puts a twist on present society - a future world that could plausibly happen.
