Dystopian movies have been predicting the present for a century. Metropolis (1927) predicted a world where the masses will work themselves to death while a few live in luxury. They Live (1988) perfectly captured the gullibility of people falling for corporate propaganda. 1984 (the films and book) got the surveillance state, thought control, and Big Government bullying so perfectly that the term “Big Brother” is etched into our social and political discourse.
