A political masterpiece that is rarely understood

Rating: 10/10 (22 December 2019)

The premise is trying to control a natural tendency by artificial means doesnt work, hence the title. The film is a political parody of how the 3 major political ideologies of the 20th century deal with the concept of evil. The protagonist is not a real person, but the embodiment of the dark side of society (evil). The homeless man on the street represents the old system aka feudalism. The prison sequence explains how fascism deal with evil. The crippled elitist liberal represents communism, who comes close to killing the evil but cannot finish the job. The last scene at the hospital 'democracy' revives the half dead evil, feeding him by his own hands because it benefits his agenda. A similar idea is also explored in Dr.Strangelove's final scene, where crippled fascism gains the strength to walk again. A timeless masterpiece unless you are politically dim.
