THX-1138 Original Cut (1971)
In the 25th century, humans exist in a computer-controlled subterranean world where emotions are outlawed, mind-numbing drugs are mandated and no one has a name, only an alphanumeric designation. But one man, THX 1138 (Duvall), secretly resists his drug regimen and commits the cardinal crime against the state–he experiences love
Watch 1997 Conspiracy Theory (Trust the System?)
Like Jerry, people in éiRe today live inside institutional structures they did not design, cannot fully see, are discouraged from questioning and many times are actually a victim of. The film’s message is not subtle: awareness alone changes nothing. Without organisation, scrutiny, and collective resistance, confusion becomes compliance, and compliance becomes the system’s greatest success.

Soylent Green is a 1973 American ecological dystopian thriller film directed by Richard Fleischer and starring Charlton Heston, Leigh Taylor-Young, and Edward G. Robinson (in his final film appearance as well as his posthumous work due to his death in January 1973). Loosely based on the 1966 science fiction novel Make Room! Make Room! by…

If I Could Just Stop Loving You: Anti-Love Biotechnology and the Ethics of a Chemical Breakup
The idea of “drugging the love out of you” is far from new. Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World imagined a future society in which emotional bonds are chemically controlled to ensure social harmony and personal stability, raising timeless questions about autonomy, manipulation, and well-being.
Watch 2005 V for Vendetta Through a New Lens: From Agent Smith’s Control to V’s Rebellion
If you read between the lines, the time gap between 1984 and V for Vendetta opens the door to a chilling interpretation: Winston Smith, after being thoroughly broken and “re-educated” by the Party, could have risen through the ranks to eventually become the very kind of authoritarian leader he once feared, someone like Chancellor Sutler.
Dr. Strangelove: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (1964)
Halloween celebrates fear, absurdity, and the macabre, and Dr. Strangelove is all three rolled into one. Instead of ghosts or slashers, it gives us the ultimate horror: the total annihilation of humanity… and we laugh about it. That’s pure existential terror disguised as humour, exactly the kind of dark irony that Halloween thrives on.
