Dystopia Movies
--

In this collection I am trying to group together a number of classic science fiction films that address future dystopias.

dys-yo-pi-a
n.

• An imaginary place or state in which the condition of life is extremely bad, as from deprivation, oppression, or terror.
• A work describing such a place or state: "dystopias such as Brave New World" (Times Literary Supplement).

In the late 60's and early 70's there was a great influx of these movies and some, to my mind, are well worth having a second look at. Here is a small list.. please feel free to contribute!!

Please do not suggest post apoplectic movies, I feel these should be collected at some point under their own heading

Metropolis (1927)
--
</a>

It is the future, and humans are divided into two groups: the thinkers, who make plans (but don't know how anything works), and the workers, who achieve goals (but don't have the vision). Completely separate, neither group is complete, but together they make a whole. One man from the "thinkers" dares visit the underground where the workers toil, and is astonished by what he sees...

Things to Come (1936)
--
</a>

A global war begins in 1940. This war drags out over many decades until most of the people still alive (mostly those born after the war started) do not even know who started it or why. Nothing is being manufactured at all any more and society has broken down into primative localized communities. In 1966 a great plague wipes out most of what people are left but small numbers still survive. One day a strange aircraft lands at one of these communities and its pilot tells of an organisation which is rebuilding civilization and slowly moving across the world re-civilizing these groups of survivors. Great reconstruction takes place over the next few decades and society is once again great and strong. The world's population is now living in underground cities. In the year 2035, on the eve of man's first flight to the moon, a popular uprising against progress (which some people claim has caused the wars of the past) gains support and becomes violent.

Animal Farm (1954)
--
</a>

Britain's first animated feature, which, despite the title and Disney-esque animal animation, is in fact a no-holds-barred adaptation of George Orwell's classic satire on Stalinism, with the animals taking over their farm by means of a revolutionary coup, but then discovering that although all animals are supposed to be equal, some are more equal than others...

A Clockwork Orange (1971)
--
</a>

Stanley Kubrick's striking visual interpretation of Anthony Burgess's famous novel is a masterpiece. Malcolm McDowell delivers a clever, tongue-in-cheek performance as Alex, the leader of a quartet of droogs, a vicious group of young hoodlums who spend their nights stealing cars, fighting rival gangs, breaking into people's homes, and raping women. While other directors would simply exploit the violent elements of such a film without subtext, Kubrick maintains Burgess's dark, satirical social commentary. We watch Alex transform from a free-roaming miscreant into a convict used in a government experiment that attempts to reform criminals through an unorthodox new medical treatment. The catch, of course, is that this therapy may be nothing better than a quick cure-all for a society plagued by rampant crime. A Clockwork Orange works on many levels--visual, social, political, and sexual--and is one of the few films that hold up under repeated viewings. Kubrick not only presents colorfully arresting images, he also stylizes the film by utilizing classical music (and Wendy Carlos's electronic classical work) to underscore the violent scenes, which even today are disturbing in their display of sheer nihilism. Ironically, many fans of the film have missed that point, sadly being entertained by its brutality rather than being repulsed by it.

A convict (James Cole) reluctantly volunteers to be sent back in time to 1996 to gather information about the origin of the epidemic (who he's told was spread by a mysterious "Army of the Twelve Monkeys") and locate the virus before it mutates so that scientists can study it. Unfortunately Cole is mistakenly sent to 1990, six years earlier than expected, and is arrested and locked up in a mental institution, where he meets Dr. Kathryn Railly, a psychiatrist, and Jeffrey Goines, the insane son of a famous scientist and virus expert

Vincent is one of the last "natural" babies born into a sterile, genetically-enhanced world, where life expectancy and disease likelihood are ascertained at birth. Myopic and due to die at 30, he has no chance of a career in a society that now discriminates against your genes, instead of your gender, race or religion. Going underground, he assumes the identity of Jerome, crippled in an accident, and achieves prominence in the Gattaca Corporation, where he is selected for his lifelong desire: a manned mission to Titan. Constantly passing gene tests by diligently using samples of Jerome's hair, skin, blood and urine, his now-perfect world is thrown into increasing desperation, his dream within reach, when the mission director is killed - and he carelessly loses an eyelash at the scene! Certain that they know the murderer's ID, but unable to track down the former Vincent, the police start to close in, with extra searches, and new gene tests. With the once-in-a-lifetime launch only days away, Vincent must avoid arousing suspicion, while passing the tests, evading the police, and not knowing whom he can trust...

In reality, it is 200 years later, and the world has been laid waste and taken over by advanced artificial intelligence machines. The computers have created a false version of 20th-century life--the "Matrix"--to keep the human slaves satisfied, while the AI machines draw power from the humans. Anderson (Neo), pursued constantly by "Agents" (computers who take on human form and infiltrate the Matrix), is hailed as "The One" who will lead the humans to overthrow the machines and reclaim the Earth.

Animal farm is about the uptake of communism.
Is as dystopian as they come, infact its almost perfect dictionary definition of dystopia:
http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=dystopia
[quote]# An imaginary place or state in which the condition of life is extremely bad, as from deprivation, oppression, or terror.
# A work describing such a place or state: “dystopias such as Brave New World�

[spudthedestroyer]

erm... or did you mean "why isn't there a link in the collection?"?

there's a couple of links @ fileheaven.org for the movie, so they can be found when it comes back up on wednesday/thursday.

Animal farm is def a dystopia story.... like spud said.... the reason it has ?? next to it, is taht is is not really sci fi. Was asking you guys if I should include it... .. . The small list at the bottom of the page is just stuff that I'll add soon but will do so when I get a chance. Like it says this is incomplete

[maxpayne2409]

ah cool, fair enough then

[Jynks]

Added a bunch more flicks.. still mroe to come.

[Jynks]

added 3 more movies

Brazil
Things to Come
Animal Farm

[maxpayne2409]

how about including dystopian vision games like Beneath A Steel Sky, Cyberpunks, etc

[Jynks]

I'm nto a big gamer anymore... my game knoladge starts getting sketchy after the 90's.... . if you can make the list I will add it.

[maxpayne2409]

cool cheers, well theres beneath a steel sky (now freeware using scumm vm and also b.a.s.s 2 is out next year), i will find more later tonight

[maxpayne2409]

just thinking, dystopian movies are basically where people are told/brainwashed into what to think/do/how to live they're lives by subliminal messages etc, correct? technically wouldn't They Live fit into that category? as it's about human beings being controlled and told what to think and do by subliminal advertising, i know as a rule its aliens doing it but the theory is still kind of dystopian i guess

@Kress

Dark City doesn't fit in my opinion. Isn't that film about a bunch of alien abductes living in a giant "maze" as some kind of experment to figure out the nature of individuality/soul... very cool film but dosn't really fit.

Total Recall, also a movie I really like but also I do not think it fits in this collection. I am a bit undersided about it really... I would love to put it in As I love the film but apart from the corrupt govner of Mars the world they all exist in isn't that bad... Then again it is close enough... When I do the update I might put it in... any other thoughts on this.

@Belmas

Nice sugestions there... i can not belive I forgot A Clockwork Orange and Rollerball (Carn version). Also my initial reaction to Planet of the apes was that it wouldn't fir but as I type this and think about it I am pretty sure it dose!! So I will add that as well. I hate the battle Royal films but they definatly fit in the collection. As far as La Jetee gose.... I plan on doing a collection of another of my fav Sci Fi movie themes.. time travel... and it would go in there....

@maxpayne2409

They live?? I wouldn't have thought that but after reading what you wrote.. I will add it as well.

Thanks for your sugestions...

I am still looking for a old Animal Farm cartoon...
