An underrated masterpiece.

skietz

This film is a total masterpiece under many points of view. It encompasses a mix between drama, political plot and conspiracy related to control the masses. Is an old film but the contents are evergreen, because the power of the almighty people is still dominating the crowds minds and is greatly clear in the movie with the imperative orders that are everywhere.

Another part that astonished me is that the "Obey" written usually seen in the movie became the "graffiti tag" of one of the most famous and important street graffiti artist that inspired an affirmed fresh clothing brand now famous in the whole world.

This movie is highly recommended for the comic side too, especially the final part. John Carpenter did a real masterpiece here, this film should be in the Top 250 films for sure.

score 10/10
