Too Close For Comfort

Rating: 10/10 (30 April 2020)

Though this movie is set in 2032 which is only 12 years from now, It's strange how few viewers have spotted the chilling truth in this film and the way it points at how things are today in the UK, especially with the lockdown. We are a hair's breadth away from the kind of scenario portrayed: Mysterious experimental virus's being unleashed on unsuspecting civilians; paralyzing fear fueled by fake news media; people being pressured and shamed into wearing masks and keeping apart from each other; vaccinations now being tested on people who have no idea what is in it with the threat of becoming mandatory; freedom of speech slowly being stifled through the guise of 'political correctness'; the government slowly nut surely taking more and more control of people and their lives. Slowly, slowly catch your monkey...and although other countries are in revolt, the UK remains as a nation of 'do as you're told' citizens. When I first watched this in 2005 I thought it was a chilling prophecy of what soon might come to pass. Now it's fast becoming a reality. That said, I love all the Wachowski movies and believe they must be some sort of time travelers given the content of many of their movies. Therefore I give this one 10/10
