#Equals (ora su RaiMovie) a leggere la trama sembra(va) una copia di #Equilibrium e invece no. 😁

Retro SciFi Film of the Week…

THX 1138 (1971)

Starting out as a student project, this film was George Lucas's first. Apparently Warner Brothers thought it was good enough and decided to back it. Francis Ford Coppola who was already seeing a lot of success by that time also joined the project to help produce.

The film didn’t get many rave reviews when it was first released, but when Lucas went on to make Star Wars just six years later, THX 1138 enjoyed a significant bump in its esteem.

One of the features of the dystopian world depicted in this film is a drug to suppress everyone’s emotions. This is an idea loosely borrowed from A Brave New World, except in Huxley’s story the controlling drug is a happy pill not an emotion-suppression pill. This same idea of a society with suppressed emotions has been used from time to time in science fiction, more recently by the film Equals (2015).

It’s been released in several different cuts (some parts of the original release were censored by Warner Bros). Generally, I’d say the longer cuts are probably closer Lucas’ vision.

There was a director's cut released in 2004 by Lucas himself which is a true director's cut, however if you watch that one you'll be looking at his vision in 2004, and may not be what he would have done 1971 as director’s cut.

I'm really struggling to understand the urge of some media to seek a single leader in a Union of equals. Why is it that it is thought better if a single Member State would lead a Union of 27? Wouldn't it be better to ask for strong institutions, a Commission that leads by being a Guardian of the Treaties and not a servant to 1 or 2 MS? Not to mention that strong leadership usually contains authoritarian elements

Interesting discussion about the acronym #TERF. #Feminism started out as a perfectly valid battle but got wasted by extremists with a holier-than-thou viewpoint. The point is not that one #gender suffers more or is inherently better. The point and objective should be that we’re all #equals and a person’s gender should not be a part of the equation most of the time (the only exception being when looking for a sexual partner).

De hecho, puede que muchos recordaréis a @sanz_yanez por qué realizó un corto titulado #Equals basado en una historia corta de #ShunUmezawa que logró más de 20 premios nacionales e internacionales.

Actualmente ese corto puede verse en @Filmin
