This astoundingly powerful movie resonates with political, social, emotional, and psychological depth with its various layers, statements, morals, and themes. The movie made a welcome overt political statement in its 1984-esque totalitarian England, but even more, it was a statement to the people that, especially in countries that already claim to be democratic, the people rule the government, not the other way around. "People shouldn't be afraid of their governments, governments should be afraid of their people." It also addressed the issue of prejudice, making the suffering of homosexuals everywhere seem more real and tragic, like the groundbreaking "Brokeback Mountain". Other than the movies amazing undertones and themes, it has a story that appeals to everyone, the sci-fi lovers, the romance lovers, the action lovers, and many other genres.
