Thought Provoking

Rating: 10/10 (28 March 2006)

I thought this movie was fantastic - great acting and highly thought provoking. I was left unsure where the film stood politically although ultimately the film appears to be pro liberal democracy I did feel there were some right wing elements as well as some anti communist undertones. There seemed to be a myriad of political theory and paradox which was difficult to dismantle. Okay maybe i am being over analytical but surely this makes the film so much more interesting?! The film raised awareness of the power of fear yet also played on the audiences fears by including a number of real contemporary issues which prompt fear amongst the population, and I certainly left the cinema wondering if our society could really become the society depicted in the film.
